Set channel strips to ignore Hermode tuning in MainStage
If a patch (or the concert or set containing the patch) is set to use Hermode tuning, but the
patch contains a channel strip (for example, one with a drum or percussion instrument) that
you do not want to use Hermode tuning, you can set the individual channel strip to ignore
Hermode tuning.
Set a channel strip to ignore Hermode tuning
• In the MIDI Input tab of the MainStage Channel Strip Inspector, select the Ignore
Hermode Tuning checkbox.
Override concert- and set-level key ranges in MainStage
If a software instrument channel strip exists at the concert level, the concert-level channel
strip takes precedence over any patch-level software instrument channel strips within its
key range. This means that when you play any notes in the key range of the concert-level
channel strip on a keyboard controller, you hear only the concert-level channel strip, even
when a patch is selected.
Similarly, if a software instrument channel strip exists at the set level, the same condition
applies for all patches in the set. That is, the set-level channel strip takes precedence
over any patch-level channel strips within its key range.
You can override concert- or set-level channel strips for a channel strip on an individual
patch, so that the patch-level channel strip takes precedence over the concert-level or
set-level channel strips.
Override concert- or set-level key ranges
1. In the MainStage PatchList, select the patch with the channel strip that you want to
override the concert- or set-level channel strip.
2. In the Channel Strips area, select the channel strip with the key range that you want to
override the concert- or set-level key range.
3. In the Channel Strip Inspector, select the Layer Editor.
4. In the “Override parent ranges” pop-up menu choose one of the following options:
• Off: The key ranges of the concert- or set-level instrument is used for the patch.
• Replace: The key ranges of the patch-level instrument replaces the key ranges of the
concert- or set-level instrument.
• Add: The key ranges of the patch instrument are layered on top of the key ranges of
the concert- or set-level instrument.
The “Override parent ranges” pop-up menu is available only if there is a concert- or set-
level instrument or external instrument channel strip.
