CPU Overload Protection: This function will kill voices if the CPU load gets too
high. You can specify how tolerant you want the engine to be.
Multiprocessor Support: Enable this checkbox if you have a computer with more
than one processor to take advantage of the additional CPU power.
Send MIDI to outside world:
• GUI keyboard: Virtual keyboard / Mapping Editor keyboard / computer
keyboard events
• Script generated CCs: script controller events like CCs, RPNs, NRPNs
• Script generated notes: script note events (when enabled,
this setting might create duplicate notes when recording in your
host)
Offline Interpolation Quality: The new HQI mode allows you to select among
three quality options when bouncing audio from within a host. “Standard”
corresponds to the old mode, whereas “High” and “Perfect” increase the
quality. HQI mode helps you eliminate digital aliasing sounds which become
particularly audible when you transpose sounds with significant high frequency
content upwards. Note that this quality comes with a price in the form of
additional CPU load and thus a lower total voice count.
Important: Both modes “high” and “perfect” will use more cpu if the
transposition is higher. E.g. if you transpose a sample one octave, then
2 octaves, the cpu load will double every octave. So if you transpose
your sample many octaves higher, the cpu load might be very high.
