Chapter 6: Options 63
Misc
The Miscellaneous (Misc) tab provides utility and other settings.
Oscillator
These options let you choose the tone, frequency, and level for
the system’s built-in Oscillator, and let you route it to the desired
outputs.
2-Track
This section lets you route a pair of Console or Engine analog or
digital hardware inputs (including USB 2-Track inputs) directly
into any output using the 2-Track inputs. This allows you to send
audio to the selected outputs without using a system channel to,
for example, confirm system audio output.
Talkback
This sections lets you route a single Console or Engine analog in-
put directly into any output bus using the Talkback circuit. This
allows you to send talkback to outputs (such as Auxes feeding
stage monitors) without having to use a system channel.
System Clock
This section lets you set the date and time for the system, as well
as display preferences. See “Setting the System Clock” on
page 19 for instructions.
Show Time in Status Area
You can choose to show time of day in the lower right corner of
the screen in the Status display area.
To show time of day in the Status area:
1 Go to Options > Misc.
2 In the System Clock section, enable the Show Time in Status
Area
option.
3 Select a format for the displayed time: 12 hour (AM/PM) or 24
hour
.
Time of day is shown whenever the status of the plug-in racks is
OK; plug-in rack status messages (if any) temporarily replace
time of day display to alert you to plug-in rack status.
Channel Delay
This section lets you set the display units on all applicable input
and output delay controls. This makes it possible to set the delay
based on any of the following:
• delay time (in milliseconds)
• distance to the source (in feet or meters)
• number of samples of delay
Tap Tempo
This section lets you enable and adjust the settings for Tap
Tempo. Tap Tempo lets you quickly establish a system tempo to
use as a beat clock for delay and echo plug-ins that support
Tempo Sync.
Mouse
Pointer Speed and Mouse L/R Settings
This section lets you customize the response speed for the track-
ball (or mouse) and on-screen cursor, and reverse the left/right as-
signment of the Trackball buttons, from the Options > Misc page.
To customize Pointer Speed:
1 Go to Options > Misc.
2 Do any of the following:
• To adjust cursor speed, click the
Pointer Speed pop-up
menu and choose a higher value for faster response, or a
lower value for a slower response.

buttons, click to enable
Switch Buttons.
