32 SYSTEM SETTINGS
Global MIDI devices
Open the System options – MIDI via "File > Program preferences > MIDI options" and
then set the global playback and global record device. The set devices are used to play
back MIDI files directly, and they are also used for the standard settings for new tracks.
You can rename the devices at any time.
Record offset
Enter a recording offset value in milliseconds to determine the time difference which passes
between a MIDI command and placement in the arrangement.
Samplitude places played notes in the MIDI object on the right according to the set time,
i. e. MIDI notes are delayed and displayed later in the timeline.
Retrospective MIDI recording
Activate the "Retrospective recording" option here for the same function available under
"Play/Rec -> Retrospective MIDI recording (view page 596)". Samplitude creates a MIDI
object to the selected, recording-ready MIDI track that may b
e adjusted in terms of buffer
length.
Audio/MIDI synchronization
Force sync specifies how precisely Samplitude synchronizes MIDI tracks with audio
tracks. On faster systems, this setting should be at 100% in order to achieve the closest
sync between the MIDI and the audio. . If your system experiences difficulties synchronizing
the MIDI tracks with the audio tracks, select a lower sync reciprocation value. Normally,
you will also want to use sample-exact reference times from your audio device (e.g.
sound card) for audio/MIDI synchronization.
