Step FX global controls in MainStage
The XY pad provides real-time control of up to four target parameters. Drag the blue control point to simultaneously modulate your targets. The parameters of the XY pad and the Master controls are described in the respective sections below.
XY pad parameters
Changes to XY pad Target pop-up menus are reflected by blue rings and dots around target parameter knobs, which make it easy to identify a target parameter. The rings indicate the modulation range and the dots indicate the current value of the XY pad modulation.
XY pad: Drag horizontally or vertically to change the value of the assigned X or Y target parameters.
On/off buttons: Enable/disable the X or Y controller.
X Target pop-up menus: Choose one or two modulation targets from any active effect processor, modulation source, or master control section.
X Depth fields: Set the modulation amount/range for the chosen X target(s).
Y Target pop-up menus: Choose one or two modulation targets from any active effect processor, modulation source, or master control section.
Y Depth fields: Set the modulation amount/range for the chosen Y target(s).
Master controls
Input knob and field: Set the input level of the plug-in.
Mix knob and field: Set the level of the original versus processed signal. This is essentially a wet/dry balance control.
Output knob and field: Set the overall output level of the plug-in.
Effects order strip
The order and status of active and inactive effects units are indicated in the strip. Inactive effects are dimmed, and active effects are illuminated. The signal flow runs from left to right.
Effects order strip: Drag the name of an active (lit) or inactive (dimmed) effect horizontally to change the effects order.
