ENVIRONMENT SETTINGS
MIDI Settings
The MIDI Settings page contains fields for setting which MIDI drivers will
be used for input, output and syncing. It also contains options related to MIDI
keyboard recording and automation.
MIDI Drivers:
- Remote Control Input - The device chosen here will be used for MIDI input in
FruityLoops. Such devices are MIDI keyboards and external MIDI controllers,
such as PhatBoy(R).
- Playing Output - The device chosen here will be used for MIDI output in
FruityLoops. Such devices are the software/hardware MIDI synthesizers.
- Master Sync Output - FruityLoops will send
master sync signal to the device chosen here (if Enable
MIDI Master Sync is turned on in Options
menu). FruityLoops can be synced as a master with external MIDI devices.
You can also sync with MIDI sequencers by using a virtual MIDI cable software,
such as MIDI Yoke.
Keyboard Input:
- Ignore Velocities - If turned on, FruityLoops will ignore note velocities sent
by some MIDI keyboards.
- Record to Step Sequencer - If turned on, all
recorded notes from your MIDI keyboard will be put in the Step
Sequencer, not in the Piano Roll.
- Multichannel Preview - Lets you set a channel
for your MIDI keyboard, where each keyboard key previews one of the channels
in the Step Sequencer.
- Channel Used to Preview - Lets you set a channel
for your MIDI keyboard, where each keyboard key mutes/unmutes one of the channels
in the Step Sequencer.
- Toggle on Release - When turned on, instead
of unmuting after a second press (in the channel used to preview), it will
unmute whenever a key is released.
Remote Control:
- Auto Accept Controller - If you turn this
option off, you'll have to click the OK button in MIDI
Remote Control box to accept a controller mapping and close the box. When
turned on, the box will close right after you tweak a controller on you external
MIDI controller device (and that tweaked controller will be mapped to the
property). For this option to work, you need to turn the Auto
detect option in the MIDI Remote Control box.
- Delete Mapping - This command deletes the
whole MIDI remote control mapping.
