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.
Thanks for your feedback.
