Dening the Tempo for a Concert
Each concert has a tempo, which you can change in dierent ways while you
are performing. The tempo controls time-based plug-in parameters, such as
delay times, and aects sequencer-oriented plug-ins such as Playback as well as
ReWire applications.
When you open a concert, the Tempo setting in the Concert Inspector is used as the
tempo. You can change the tempo by selecting a patch or set with its own Tempo
setting or by tapping a tempo. When you change the tempo, MainStage uses the new
tempo until you change it again or until you close the concert.
