Project Defaults
The settings on this screen determine various default values for any new project that you create.
Default Tempo: This is the default tempo in BPM.
Default Master Tempo: When enabled, the default tempo value will be used for the master tempo. When
disabled, the default tempo will be used for sequences.
Default Sequence Bars: This determines the default number of bars of a new sequence.
Default Time Signature Numerator: This determines the number of beats per bar of a new sequence (the top
number of a time signature).
Default Time Signature Denominator: This determines the value of each beat of a new sequence (the bottom
number of a time signature).
Default Pad Slice: This determines how new samples will play when you load them or record them into a project.
When set to Pad, the Slice menu in Program Edit Mode will be set to Pad, which lets you set the start point, end
point, etc. for the layer. When set to All, the Slice menu in Program Edit Mode will be set to All, in which the
entire sample plays.

New Project Dialog: This determines what options you see when you start a new project. When set to Off, a new
project will be empty with no preconfigured settings except for the project defaults shown here. When set to
Demo, you can choose to load a demo project (from several different genres) as a starting point or an empty
project. When set to Demo/Template/Recent, you can choose to load a demo project, a project template file, or
an empty project.
