Project Defaults

The settings on this screen determine various default values for any new project that you create.
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. You must have a project in the Template File field of the Project Load/Save tab to select a template in this
window.
Default Tempo: This is the default tempo in BPM.
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 Track 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 Track Edit Mode will be set to All, in which the entire sample
plays.
Default Drum/Keygroup Filter: This determines the default type of filter that drum and keygroup tracks will use.
See
Appendix > Glossary > Filter
Default Plugin Synth: This determines the default instrument plugin that a new plugin track will use. Use the
window that appears to select it.

Project Load/Save

The settings on this screen determine if (and how) projects are automatically saved.
Auto Save Enabled: When enabled, your project will automatically save after each Timeout interval. When
disabled, your project will not be automatically saved; you may save only manually.
Timeout: Use this field to select how often your project will automatically save.
Template File: Use this field to select a project template that will load automatically when you select User
Template in the New Project Dialog window. (If you select the Save as Template box when saving a file, it will be
shown in this field.) In order for the User Template option to be available, New Project Dialog (in the Project
Defaults tab) must be set to Demo or Demo/Template/Recent.

Record/Export

The settings on this screen determine the settings for recording and exporting audio.
Recording Bit Depth: This determines the bit depth of recorded audio.

General

The settings on this screen determine how other features work in the hardware and operating system.
Tap Tempo: This determines how many times you have to press the Tap button before the new tempo is
recognized.
Flash Tap Tempo Light: When enabled, the Tap button's light will flash in time with the tempo. When disabled, the
Tap button's light will be off.
Filter 'All Notes Off' CC: When enabled, "All Notes Off" ("MIDI panic") messages will be ignored. This is useful if
you are using an external MIDI device that can send these types of messages but you want to filter them out. When
disabled, "All Notes Off" messages will be received normally.
Vintage Mode: This determines the type of emulation applied to the audio output. You can apply the particular
sonic qualities of, for example, the MPC3000 or MPC60, or of course no emulation (None).
Audition Auto Play: This determines how long a sample will sound when auto-previewing it.
