Startup
• Load last bank - This feature automatically loads the last bank you had loaded
whenever you start the Emulator X application.
Interface
• Select preset on active channel when editing in Multimode - When checked,
selecting a preset for editing in the Tree selects that preset on the active channel
in the multisetup. This is what you want if you’re editing a preset and playing a
MIDI keyboard.
If you’re playing back a multi-timbral sequence and want to make a quick edit to
a preset, you might want this feature Off so as not to alter your multisetup.
• Clear clip indicators after 10 seconds - This feature automatically clears the
main output meter clip indicators. If this function is set to Off, the clip indicators
will stay on until you manually click on them.
• Expand tree items when selected - If this option is checked, selecting presets
from the Tree will automatically open the selected preset for editing. When
unchecked, selecting presets from the Tree will select the preset for playing, but
not open it for editing.
• Knob Tracking - This control allows the rotary knobs to be manipulated with
either Rotary, Horizontal, or Vertical motion. The setting affects all rotary
controls.
Paths
• Recording and temp file directory - This option allows you to choose the
location where new samples will be stored when sampling.
• External audio editor - This option allows you to set the location of an external
audio editor. The External Audio Editor is selected from the Sample Edit menu
or the toolbar. When the External Editor is selected, the current sample
opens in the editing application you have selected. When you Save the edited
sample in the external editing application, it is automatically transferred back to
the Emulator X. You even have the option to Undo the external edit.
