Adding a Set-Level Channel Strip
You can add channel strips at the set level and play the set-level channel strips
together with every patch in the set. This can be useful, for example, if you want to
use the same bass instrument in a single song or group of songs. You can place the
patches for all of the songs in a set, add a channel strip at the set level, and then add
a bass instrument to the set-level channel strip. You can set the key range of the bass
instrument to play only notes in the lower octaves so that you can play it together with
your patches.
When you add a channel strip at the set level, it takes precedence over the channel
strips in all of the patches in the set. For example, if you add a software instrument
channel strip at the set level, the software instrument takes precedence over the
software instruments in all of the patches in the set that fall within the same key range
as the concert-wide software instrument. You can dene the key range for the set-level
instrument so it does not overlap the key ranges of any patches you want to play.
