Adding channels to an existing Mic Map

When your show needs more roles than the existing Mic Map covers — a new ensemble role, a body mic for an actor that came in late — add a channel.

How to add a channel

1. Open the Mic Map for the show.
2. Tap + at the top right.
3. A new channel appears at the end of the list with a default name (the channel number).
4. Rename and remap as needed.

Notes

• New channels default to muted on every existing MidiEvent. ShowPlayer is conservative — it won't open a brand-new mic during a song that was already authored. To bring the new channel up at a specific moment, edit the relevant MidiEvent.
• New channel lands at the bottom. Drag it to the position where it fits in your role order.
• Naming. Give it a short, unambiguous name — what reads fast under pressure ("Ensemble 5", "Sebastian", "Kid #3") beats anything clever.
