Options
MIDI Recording – Record Mode
Use this pop-up menu to define a record mode for cycle recordings on instrument
tracks.
MIDI Recording – Auto Quantize
If this option is activated, anything recorded on an instrument track is automatically
quantized to 1/16 positions.
MIDI Recording – Record Placement Method (Windows only)
When a MIDI interface sends notes to the application, this data includes timing
information (so-called timestamps) to correctly position the MIDI events on the Sequel
timeline. There may be situations in which these timestamps are not in sync with the
internal timing information of Sequel, so recorded MIDI events are not positioned
correctly (usually, they occur too late).
If timing problems with the recorded MIDI events occur with your operating system, try
changing the Record Placement Method from A (uses timing information of Sequel) to
B (uses MIDI timestamp).
Metronome – Record/Playback
You can activate or deactivate the Record and/or Playback options to determine when
the metronome click is played.
Remote Controller Source
If you have connected more than one external controller, use this pop-up menu to
select the corresponding input.
Computer Usage
If you point with the mouse on the upper or lower border of the program window, a
Computer Usage indicator is shown on the lower border of the Multi Zone, to the right
of the program name.
If your computer is trying to do too many things at once, it may overload. The indicator
shows the current processor load of your computer. When four or more bars light up,
the workload is quite high. In case of an overload, the whole indicator lights up in
orange. If this happens, try to reduce the processor load, for example, by freezing
tracks, see
“Freeze” on page 72.
