Key Concepts<br />
  Concert: The <strong>MainStage</strong> document that holds all the sounds and settings you’ll<br />
use in performance, the visual layout of screen controls, and information about the<br />
connections between your MIDI hardware devices and the screen controls.<br />
  Patch: An individual sound in a <strong>MainStage</strong> concert that contains one or more<br />
channel strips with instruments, effects, or both.<br />
  Workspace: The central area of the <strong>MainStage</strong> window that shows the layout for<br />
the concert.<br />
  Screen control: A visual representation of a hardware control, such as a knob,<br />
fader, or button. Some screen controls can also display patch, parameter, or system<br />
information, text, or an image.<br />
  Edit mode: Where you add, edit, and organize the patches in a <strong>MainStage</strong> concert.<br />
Edit mode is also where you map screen controls to parameters and actions.<br />
  Layout mode: Where you add and arrange screen controls to edit the visual layout<br />
of a concert. Layout mode is also where you make connections (called controller<br />
assignments) between your MIDI hardware devices and the concert.<br />
  Perform mode: One of the two modes optimized for performance. The workspace fills<br />
the <strong>MainStage</strong> window, but you can still access the Finder and the toolbar.<br />
  Full Screen mode: The other mode optimized for live performance. The <strong>MainStage</strong><br />
workspace fills your entire display for easy viewing in stage or club environments.<br />
