• Program Change:
Use this option to generally activate or deactivate the „program change“ feature for
Engine. This way you do not have to deactivate program change for each
Layer separately if you maybe do not want to use this feature temporarily. You could
also call it „program change bypass“ feature.
The MIDI-IN icon shows incoming MIDI signals and thus the existing MIDI connection of
Engine. If Engine should not work correctly during your work, you can use the „MIDI panic/
bypass“ button to mute and reset all note-on MIDI signals immediately.
IMPORTANT: ALL Project parameters affect the entire Engine instance!
The volume value assign the general volume for the entire Project. The pitch parameter is
available in semitones and Hertz and assigns the basic tone pitch. This is very useful as
you can switch to a „443“ or „448“ Hertz tune immediately, for example. The value range
for semitones is set to +/- 60 and the value range for Hertz between 380 and 500. You can
switch between the two options with a click on the drop-down. If you only want to change
the tone pitch of single Layers and not the entire Project please read the chapters „Layer
Set Area“ or „Layer Area“ on the following pages.
If you use Engine as plug-in in your sequencer software an automatic synchronization
connection gets established to guarantee the unobstructed synchronization with your host.
You will notice that always you change the tempo of your sequencer software also the
tempo in Engine will change to the same value accordingly.
IMPORTANT: If you use Engine in the standalone mode and you want to use
multiple Modules or Insert Effects and Filters which need a tempo
specification you have to enter this value into the Project tempo display!
