Channel Strips and Controller Preferences

Using the same interface for channel strips, busses, and routing found in Logic Pro, you can also create sounds directly in MainStage.

Virtual mapping lets you quickly reassign controllers when your equipment changes. All you need is a one-to-one relationship between the screen controls and the knobs, faders, and other components on your hardware controller.
