Save a channel's settings

The Edit screen allows you to adjust all the settings for one channel. But these settings aren't permanent. You must save these settings to your sequencer's midi track in the form of midi events (messages). If you do not, those settings will be lost when you close your sequencer program.

The easiest way to do this is as follows:

1) Change all the values for a single midi channel on the Edit screen as desired.

2) When you have all settings finalized, click on the Save Settings button. You will be presented with a file dialog to choose a location and filename where the plugin will save the channel's settings in a standard midi file. For example, if you type MySettings for the name, then a MySettings.mid will be created.

3) Import that midi file into your sequencer, and paste those imported events at the start of the plugin's track.

4) Repeat for any other channels.


Alternately, you can manually enter midi events in your sequencer track using a piano roll or event list.

As you adjust any setting on the Edit screen, information is displayed at the top of the screen. This information tells you what midi event you must manually enter.

For example, if you set a channel's volume to 80, then you'll see the following at the top of the screen:

CC7: 80

This indicates that you should manually enter (into your sequencer track) a MIDI controller 7 message, with a value of 80.

If you set Pan to "L 20", the information is:

CC10: 84

This indicates a MIDI controller 10 message, with a value of 84.


A third method of entering the midi events in the sequencer track is to setup your controller to adjust settings and change patches, then record its MIDI output.


Save a channel's edits

The Save Settings button is used to save those midi messages you insert once only at the start of a plugin track. Only those settings you manually change from the plugins default state (when first loaded) are saved.

Note: If you don't change any default values, then the Save Settings button creates an empty midi file.

If you wish to change some settings in a later place in your sequencer track, you can either manually enter the midi events, or use the Save Edits button, This button doesn't appear until you've changed some settings.

The way to use Save Edits is as follows:

1) Click on the Refresh button to clear any old edits, and to update the Edit screen with the current state of the channel.

2) Make all desired changes to any settings.

3) Click on the Save Edits button. This presents a file dialog to choose a name for the midi file.

4) Import that midi file into your sequencer, and paste those imported events at the desired location in the track.

5) Repeat for any other channels.
