No. If the midi hardware control gear is programmable or not has nothing to do with the Mainstage interface. The software simply adapts to whatever MIDI is sent in and translates that into tweaking the targeted plug-in parameter values. > This looks like a backward step compared to simply routing midi into a > plugin. Yes, from a hardware based background it is backwards. But this software puts the focus on the user interface on the screen. Whatever outboard MIDI control gear or software plug-ins used in the box is second row. > Can't imagine that it's compatible with any but the most basic of midi > controllers. It is compatible with everything because it has full MIDI learn functionality. Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.boysen.se www.perboysen.com
