10 Option menu

Use this menu to select the global settings that fit the best your workflow and needs.

Important : These settings will affect all the instances of the miniSyn'X in a project, and will

be used each time you load it in the future until you change them again. Each time an option is

changed, the related option file is modified and saved on your system.

In the toolbar, the Options button opens a menu where you can select various options for the

miniSyn'X. Available options are :

miniSyn'X About: displays information about the miniSyn'X (version, build date and credits).

The miniSyn'X is fully automatable via assignation of Midi Controllers to more than 100

parameters. It's also very easy to build a Map of controllers to adapt the miniSyn'x to your

favorite Keyboard or Midi Controller.

There are several methods to associate a specific Midi Cc to a miniSyn'X Parameter, that all

result into opening the MIDI settings panel, where all the work is done¸and benefit of its

autolearn feature

Opening the MIDI settings panel by clicking in the Option menu : It Open a popup

window where you can assign MIDI controllers for each of the miniSyn'X's parameters. Click on

the [parameter] label to select in the drop down list the parameter you want to assign, that will be

displayed on the right field once you have chosen it.

Then you can enter either directly the MIDI controller number you wish (from 0 to 127) with your

computer keyboard.

You can also switch on the autolearn button. The MiniSyn'x will wait for any midi controller data sent

by your Midi device. The first Midi Controller information you'll send by turning a knob, a slider, or a

button on your physical Midi device will be used to determine the Midi Controller assigned to this

parameter.

Opening the MIDI settings panel with a combination of soft keys This setting popup can

also be opened by CTRL+ALT+Apple+Left-click (Mac) or CTRL+Win+ALT+Left-click (Win) on the

desired miniSyn'X parameter. The advantage is that the right parameter is already selected.

The CONTROLMidi file : The miniSyn'X will instantaneously store all the settings in this file, located

in your MiniSyn'X installation folder. Once you've completed a whole map, with possibly dozens of

parameters assignation, it might be a good idea to back-up this file.

Tip : If you use several different MIDI devices, you can also create several different ControlMidi files

and rename them accordingly to the physical controllers they are associated with. Then you can

switch to any of these files by renaming it ControlMidi. Only one file can be active at a time though.
