setting the tuning in MainStage to 442 Hz

Hi, I use mainstage together with a MOTU Traveller interface to create my guitar sounds on stage. Since the grandpiano at our last venue was tuned to 442 Hz I wanted to calibrate the tuner in mainstage to 442. But after opening the preferences and moving the slider to 442 Hz I opened the tuner and it jumped back to 440.

When I open the preferences, change the value and close the preferences and then open the preferences again the new value is still showing, only when I open the tuner it goes back to 440 Hz.

Since I often need to tune to other instruments that are not in 440 Hz I really need help here.

Thank you!

Here's a workaround:

Open a tuner plug-in in the channel strip, set the reference pitch to 442 and save this as your default setting. ("Save as default" in the setting pop-up menu).

Setting the tuner's reference sets the global tuning, maybe something wrong with it.

Hope this helps,

Thank you, DaCaptain. Your workaround is working for me! Hopefully Apple will solve this properly soon!
