Use MIDI target channel: The MIDI system offers 16 different channels to
control 16 different sounds. Normally, MAGIX Music Maker MX Production
Suite receives MIDI notes on all channels simultaneously. With this option, you
can select a specific channel. Next you have to set the desired sound together
with the MIDI channel on the device and select the MIDI recording options on
this channel.
Synthesizer latency: Some synthesizers, especially software synthesizers like
VST instruments, create delay during playing, i.e. playback of the sound is
delayed when the button is pressed. This value lets you even this out, causing
all notes to be moved over by a certain temporal value.
Integrate MIDI keyboard with Live Performer: The MIDI keyboard can be used
to remotely control the Live Performer (only in Premium version); see Live
Performer MIDI assignment (view page 169).
Options
Create "Und
o" before destructive editing of audio data: To undo destructive
effects, the original files must be saved to the hard disk. If you use this type of
effect quite often, you can switch off the undo function and save on time used
to create an undo file as well as save space in memory.
Write real-time audio to wave file: If this option is activated, the entire
arrangement can be mixed live and recorded simultaneously. During playback
you can, for example, control mixer fades and effects or, with the help of
keyboard shortcuts, you can play the beats in the arrangement – all activities
will be recorded and written to a separate wave file. – All real-time activities are
recorded and saved in a separate WAV file. Every time playback stops you will
be asked if the portion you just played should be saved as a wave file, loaded
into the arrangement, or deleted.
Video
Video standard: PAL is used in Europe, the US and Japan use NTSC. This
setting should not be changed.
Video display: The resolutions that can be set here concern only the picture
display of DV videos in the Arranger. If playback becomes jerky, we
recommend entering a lower value. The quality of exported videos is not
influenced by this.
Extract sound from videos during import: If a video contains audio data as
well, you can use this function to extract the audio track from the video. It will
be loaded directly underneath the video track and grouped together with it. If
you ungroup them (in Edit menu), you can edit the sound as an independent
object.
