Tuning Software Instruments

The File > Project Settings > Tuning > Software Instrument Pitch parameter remotely
controls the main tuning parameter for all software instruments (the ES1 or EXS24 mkII,
for example) by ±50 cents.

By default, it is set to concert pitch A at 440 Hz. Simply drag the slider to the value you
want. As you do, the cent and Hz values update.

Note: Some Audio Units instruments do not recognize this remote command.

Logic Pro allows all software instruments to be globally tuned to different tempered
scales, including Hermode Tuning. (See

What Is Hermode Tuning?

) However, there may

be occasions when you want individual software instruments to be exempt from this
global tuning system.

To exempt individual software instrument tracks from following the global Hermode
Tuning scale
