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

In MainStage, select the patch in the Patch List with the channel strip that you want to override the concert- or set-level channel strip.
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.
In the Channel Strip Inspector, select the Layer Editor.
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.
