Apple MainStage 2 - Manual (Page 82)

2 Double-click the number in the field to the right, and enter the number of beats for one
measure of the time signature.
3 Choose the beat value from the pop-up menu to the right.
Changing the Tempo When You Select a Set
You can give a set its own tempo setting so that when you select the set, the tempo
changes to the set tempo setting. MainStage uses the new tempo until you select another
patch or set with its own tempo setting, tap a new tempo, or until MainStage receives
tempo information from incoming MIDI messages. For more information about using
and changing tempo in MainStage, see
Using Tempo in a MainStage Concert .
To change the tempo using a set
1 In the Patch List, select the set.
2 In the Set Inspector, set the set tempo using the “Change Tempo to” value slider.
3 Select the “Change Tempo to” checkbox to activate the set tempo when the set is selected.
Changing the Tuning for a Set
By default, new sets (and most existing ones) use the same tuning method as the concert.
You can change the tuning for a set so that it uses a different tuning. When you change
the tuning method for a set, the patches in the set use the set-level tuning unless you
change the tuning at the patch level.
To change the tuning for a set
1 In the Set Inspector, select the Tuning tab.
2 Choose the tuning you want the set to use from the Method pop-up menu.
Overriding Concert-Level Key Ranges for a Set
If a software instrument channel strip exists at the concert level, the concert-level channel
strip takes precedence over any set-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 in a set with a set-level channel strip.
You can override the concert-level channel strip for a channel strip at the set level so that
the set-level channel strip takes precedence over the concert-level one.
To override concert- or set-level key ranges
1 In the Patch List, select the set with the channel strip that you want to override the
concert-level channel strip.
2 In the Channel Strips area, select the channel strip with the key range that you want to
override the concert-level key range.
3 Select the “Override parent ranges” checkbox.
