MainStage Set keyboard input for a software instrument channel strip
In the Channel Strip Inspector, you can choose the keyboard controller from which the channel strip receives MIDI input. For multitimbral instruments, you can also choose the input for each MIDI channel. For example, when using the EVB3 instrument as a multitimbral 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 Tips for performing with keyboard controllers.
