SYSTEM SETTINGS 33
Global MIDI devices
These settings specify the global MIDI playback and MIDI recording devices. The devices
set up here will be used for direct playback of MIDI files and standard settings for new
tracks. You can rename the devices at any time.
Record offset
Enter a recording offset value to determine the time difference which passes between a
MIDI command and that set in the arrangement.
In case of negative values, Samplitude sets the input MIDI commands from the arranger at
the set time to the right, i.e. MIDI notes are delayed and displayed later in the timeline.
In case of positive values, Samplitude sets the input MIDI commands from the arranger at
the set time to the left, i.e. MIDI notes are pulled forward and displayed earlier in the
timeline.
Recording MIDI retroactively
Activate the "Retrospective recording" option available under "MIDI -> Retrospective
MIDI recording". Samplitude creates a MIDI object to the selected, recording-ready MIDI
track that may be adjusted in terms of buffer length.
Audio/MIDI synchronization
Force Sync lets you determine which approach Samplitude uses to synchronize the MIDI
tracks with the audio tracks. On faster systems, this setting should be at 100% to achieve
optimum adjustment of MIDI and audio. Should your system experience difficulties while
synchronizing the MIDI tracks with the audio tracks, select a lower synch 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.
