This menu allows the setting of the global settings. These settings are defined for all instances of XILS 4.
Each time an option is changed, the related option file is saved.

In the toolbar, the Options button opens a menu for selecting various options for XILS 4.
This menu shows the following options settings:

Open MIDI settings panel: Opens a pop-up menu, where you can assign MIDI controllers for each of
XILS 4’s parameters. Click on the parameter label to select the parameter you want assign, then enter the
MIDI controller number (from 0 to 127), or switch on the learning switch and send a MIDI command with the
correct MIDI controller number. The XILS 4 will memorize this setting. This pop-up menu can also be opened
by using CTRL+ALT+Apple+Left-click (Mac) or CTRL+Win+ALT+Left-click (Win) on the desired XILS 4
parameter.
