Yes, that's correct.

Incoming MIDI message can not be mapped to "channels" but to  
functions. Any function of a soft synth or effect can be set to  
follow an incoming MIDI message. An incoming MIDI Program Change  
message is automatically loading up your saved program patch that  
corresponds to the particular program number. Ie sending MIDI PC#1  
loads your saved Patch#1 etc. A "Patch" in MainStage can be any set- 
up of softsynths or only effects applied to an audio input.
