Overview of the MainStage Channel Strip Inspector

You edit channel strip parameters in the Channel Strip Inspector, which appears below the workspace when the channel strip is selected in the Channel Strips area. With these parameters you can:

The five tabs of the Channel Strips Inspector provide the following functions:

Channel Strip Library: A library of all your channel strip settings.
Attributes: You can change the name, color, and icon of the channel strip.
Layer Editor: In this tab you can create keyboard layers and splits. For more information on keyboard layers and splits, see Overview of layers and splits in MainStage. You can also choose Articulation Sets and access the Articulation Set Editor. For more information on Articulation Sets see Manage articulations with the MainStage Articulation Set Editor.
MIDI Input: You can choose and transform data from your MIDI input keyboard using graphs and the controller transform area.
Notes: You can add additional plain text notes that didn’t fit into the Notes area under the channel strip.

Using the Channel Strip Library you can access any available channel strip. Some channel strips, however, include plug-ins (particularly Space Designer) not suited for live performance because of their intensive CPU usage. Using these channel strips can affect the performance of your concert, resulting in audio dropouts and other issues.

Surround effect plug-ins cannot be used with MainStage. If you choose a channel strip setting containing a surround effect, the unused effects are shown disabled (gray, with a diagonal line running through the effect name).

Open the Channel Strip Inspector

In MainStage, enter Edit mode, either by clicking the Edit button on the toolbar, choosing Edit from the View menu, or via key command.
Choose Show Inspectors from the View menu. If the Inspector is already displayed, you can skip this step.
Select a channel strip in the Channel Strips area.
