Set keyboard input for a software instrument channel strip in MainStage

In the Channel Strip Inspector, you can choose the keyboard controller from which the channel strip receives MIDI input. For multi-timbral instruments, you can also choose the input for each MIDI channel. For example, when using the EVB3 instrument as a multi-timbral instrument, you can send input to the upper and lower register and the foot pedal using three separate MIDI channels.

For information about using keyboard controllers in performance, including using multiple controllers, see MainStage tips for performing with keyboard controllers.
