Project Area
An Independence Project contains ALL settings of the integrated Layer Sets, Layers, Alternates,
Sections and Parts. So any changes of the available parameters in this area will finally affect all
instruments you loaded. We decided to use the word „Projects“ instead of session or song to avoid
any confusion with the naming of your sequencer software.

With the drop-down menu you can load or save your Independence Projects. You can also save a
Project as “autoload” file! Independence will then always start with the entire content and settings
of your Project automatically. Simply save (replace) your Project as the file “Autoload.ytip” in the
“basics” folder of your Independence Basic Path.
The MIDI-IN icon shows incoming MIDI signals and thus the existing MIDI connection of
Independence. If Independence should not work correctly during your work, you can use the „MIDI
panic/bypass“ button to mute and reset all note-on MIDI signals immediately.
IMPORTANT: ALL Project parameters affect the entire Independence instance!
The volume value assign the general volume for the entire Project. The pitch parameter is available
in semitones and Hertz and assigns the basic tone pitch. This is very useful as you can switch to a
„443“ or „448“ Hertz tune immediately, for example. The value range for semitones is set to +/- 60
and the value range for Hertz between 380 and 500. You can switch between the two options with a
click on the drop-down. If you only want to change the tone pitch of single Layers and not the entire
Project please read the chapters „Layer Set Area“ or „Layer Area“ on the following pages.
The sync parameter also offers two options: If you use Independence as plug-in in your sequencer
software an automatic synchronization connection gets established to guarantee the unobstructed
synchronization with your host. You will notice that always you change the tempo of your sequencer
software also the tempo in Independence will change to the same value accordingly.
Of course you can also select your custom tempo that is not connected to the tempo of your host at
any time even you are using Independence as plug-in. Click the „sync“ button and the mode will
switch to „tempo“. Now you can enter a custom value or use the mouse to adjust the value.
IMPORTANT: If you use Independence in the standalone mode and you want to use multiple
Modules or Insert Effects and Filters which need a tempo specification you have
to enter this value into the Project tempo display!
