Knob Behavior Mode
Here you select the default behavior mode for all knobs of
Microtonic
. The default
option, called
Host Decides, makes
Microtonic
adhere to the current preference of
your host sequencer.
Circular mode lets you click and drag knobs in a circular
manner just like a real hardware knob.
Relative Circular mode works like the circu-
lar mode but does not immediately turn the knob to the point of the mouse cursor
when you click. The
Linear mode makes the knob work like faders; you click and
drag up and down
(or left and right)
to turn it.
Startup Bank
This setting decides which programs should load automatically when you open new
instances of
Microtonic
. The default setting is to load the
Last Used bank, you can
change this to either:
Initialized, which does not actually load any programs at all
but starts
Microtonic
in an initialized state.
Factory Demos loads the original six-
teen factory demonstration presets. The last option is to load a
Custom set of pro-
grams. By clicking
Use Current,
Microtonic
will start with the presets that you have
currently loaded in memory.
Check the Sonic Charge site for updates on startup
Activate this setting to automatically connect to the
Sonic Charge
internet site and
check for upgrades. The check is performed in the background once every third day
that you use
Microtonic
.
Swap functions of right mouse button and control / alt key
You can use this option to change the way the right mouse button is used. Basically,
the right mouse button will take the role of the
Control Key
(or Alt Key on Mac)
and
vice versa. For example, with this option turned on, you can right-click channel but-
tons to trigger drums accented or to set steps in the pattern editor to trigger ac-
cented. The context menus that you normally reach by right-clicking are then ob-
tained by holding down the control key instead.
MIDI Config Dialog
With the
MIDI Config Dialog, you configure how
Microtonic
responds to and
transmits MIDI data. Each instance of
Microtonic
has its own configuration and the
configuration is stored with your song data when you save your project.
Pattern MIDI Notes
The
Pattern MIDI Notes setting determines how patterns are “launched” by MIDI
notes. In
Switch Next mode
(default)
, the current pattern will be played fully before
the next pattern is launched.
Switch Directly will switch patterns directly when pat-
tern notes are received.
Retrigger also switches directly and restarts the patterns
from step 1.
Retrigger Gated works like Retrigger but will stop playing patterns
when MIDI keys are released.
Pitch Wheel Range
Microtonic
listens to
MIDI Pitch Wheel messages for real-time pitch transposition.
Here you can set the range between 0
(Disabled)
and 2 octaves. In
Standard Mode,
