CHAPTER 4 – STANDALONE APPLICATION
The Element 2.0 application can be used as a standalone instrument. It requires ASIO
drivers for Windows or Core Audio for macOS. Element 2.0 .exe (Win) or Element 2.0 .app
(Mac) loads the Element 2.0 instrument and configuration preferences dialogs. Set up the
standalone application from its File menu:
• All Notes Off
• Preferences
Sends an All-Notes-Off MIDI command to the Element 2.0
synthesizer. This is useful in cases of “stuck” sustaining notes.
Displays the Preferences dialog for the Audio, MIDI, and User
Choices configurations.
PREFERENCES
