Clicking on the
Settings
button opens the settings window, shown in Figure 42 which is where
some general parameters of the synthesizer, such as tuning, number of polyphony voices, pitch
bend range, and external macro modules assignments, are fixed. The value of these parameter is
not saved in a sound preset and therefore apply to all sounds. In other words, these parameters do
not vary when new sounds are loaded. In standalone mode, the last saved configuration is always
reloaded. In plug-in mode, these parameters are saved with a project which mean they can vary
from one project to the other but are fixed within one project.

the control and selecting the desired number of voices. In general, a higher number of voices is
desirable but keep in mind that the CPU load is proportional to the number of voices used.
