Overriding Concert- and Set-Level Key Ranges
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.
To override concert- or set-level key ranges
1 In the 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 Select the “Override parent ranges” checkbox.
The “Override parent ranges” checkbox is available only if there is a concert- or set-level
channel strip.
Using the EXS24 mkII Instrument Editor in MainStage
For channel strips using the EXS24 mkII sampler instrument, you can edit sampler
instrument zones and groups in the EXS Instrument Editor. The EXS24 mkII Instrument
Editor works exactly the same in MainStage as it does in Logic Pro, with one exception: in
MainStage, you cannot open the Sample Editor to edit individual audio samples.
In an EXS24 mkII instrument, a zone is a location into which a single sample (an audio
file) is loaded from a hard disk. You can edit zone parameters in Zone view mode. Zones
can be assigned to groups, which provide parameters that allow you to simultaneously
edit all zones in the group. You can define as many groups as desired. The Instrument
Editor has two view modes: Zones view and Groups view. You can edit zones in Zones
view and edit group parameters in Groups view.
