• Audio Settings

  Sample Rate: 24000, 36000, 48000, or 96000. Higher values are generally better quality but use more CPU.

  Block Size: 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512. Lower values result in less latency. Some modules may only work with higher values. Sometimes higher values are more efficient, using less CPU (varies per module and patch).

  Overrun Retries: If a patch takes too long to render a block of audio, there will be an audio glitch. This setting selects the number of audio glitches you're willing to tolerate in a one second period before the patch is stopped.

• Screensaver

  The screen will turn black if no controls are moved for a specified amount of time. The audio will not be changed. Signals on the jacks and MIDI will not wake the screen up.

  Optionally, you can enable or disable if turning knobs will wake the screen up.

• Knob Catchup Mode

  When you load a patch or change Knob Sets, the physical knobs might not be in the same position as the virtual knobs they're mapped to. Each Knob Catchup Mode does something different to handle this situation:

  • Track if knob moves: This jumps the virtual knob's value as soon as you turn the physical knob.
  • Track when equal: The virtual knob will start tracking the physical knob when they are equal.
  • Linear Fade: The virtual knob will always change in the same direction as you turn the physical knob, but it might by larger or smaller amounts.

In Track when equal mode, there is an additional option to allow jumping out-of-range parameters. This is a rare situation that can occur if a knob or switch is mapped in two different knob sets with different min/max ranges, or is manually adjusted outside of the mapping's min/max range. If the virtual knob's value is set to a position that's outside of the min/max range of the current knob set, then checking this option will allow the virtual knob to start tracking when the physical knob is moved as close as possible. Otherwise if this is not checked, the virtual knob will not be accessible from the current knobset. If you are unsure, we recommend checking this option.

• Patch File

  Startup Patch: the patch that's played when the module first starts up. If this checkbox is checked then the patch shown below will be played. You can change the Startup Patch by going to a patch and selecting "Startup Patch" in the File menu. See Patch File Menu

  Max Open Patches: The maximum number of patches that are allowed to be open at one time. Opening additional patches will automatically close the oldest patch that doesn't have unsaved changes. If all open patches have unsaved changes then a warning will pop up, asking you to close some patches.

• MIDI

  MIDI Feedback is a feature that sends the value of MIDI-mapped knobs back to the MIDI controller. This allows the controller to stay in sync with the patch when you load patches, change knob sets, and when modules change their own parameter values (for example loading a scale preset on a module).

  Enabling this is usually safe, but if you notice strange behavior from your MIDI controller, try disabling this.
