The Menus<br />

MIDI keyboard input settings… brings up the MIDI keyboard input settings window.<br />

In this window you can define what MIDI controller (such as a MIDI keyboard)<br />

is to be used for entering music into <strong>Igor</strong>. In this window there is also a<br />

checkbox for turning “smart MIDI feedback” on and off, i.e. if <strong>Igor</strong> is to play<br />

back the music that is being input during Input mode. (The settings of the<br />

smart MIDI feedback are altered in the MIDI Input pane of the Template/Piece<br />

settings.)<br />

Metronome recording settings... lets you define certain parametres concerning<br />

real-time recording (from the MIDI controller specified in the MIDI keyboard<br />

input settings window). The first parametre defines the number of bars of MIDIclick<br />

before recording starts, and the second one defines the recording tempo.<br />

Shortest note value means that all notes shorter than the value specified in the<br />

box will get the value specified; i.e., all recorded notes shorter than a semiquaver<br />

will become semiquavers with the setting 1/16. Maximum tuplet nesting indicates<br />

the number of tuplets inside other tuplets allowed. A setting of 1 means “standard”<br />

tuplets are allowed; a setting of 0 means tuplets should not be recognised at<br />

all. If the passage you record contains no tuplets, set the number to 0 to eliminate<br />

unnecessary cleaning-up afterwards. Max tuplet value sets the highest tuplet<br />

number allowed - a “3” means there can be triplets but no quintuplets, for example.<br />

Shortest note value in tuplet, finally, means that shorter notes will not be recognised<br />

for tuplets. In other words, you can record a piece with semiquavers and<br />

triplet quavers without problems - the semiquavers will not be mistaken for triplet<br />

semiquavers. A word of advice: If you experience results that do not look good,<br />

increase the shortest note value (e.g., 1/8 instead of 1/16) and set the maximum tuplet
