Click this icon to open the Settings window, where you can set the following parameters:
•
Output:
to select an audio hardware driver in your computer system. Click the
Test
button to play a test tone
for checking your audio output settings. (Careful! You should lower the volume on your audio system
beforehand.)
•
Sample Rate:
Click this drop-down menu to select the desired sample rate for your project. This depends on
the available sample rates of the type of MPC hardware you are using or of your audio interface (i.e., select
96000 Hz
only if your interface allows a 96 kHz sample rate).
•
Audio Buffer Size:
Click this drop-down menu to set your audio system’s latency. Lower values result in a
more immediate playing response but also more CPU consumption. If you are working with larger projects,
this may cause audible clicks and pops. Higher values are more CPU-friendly but can produce more delay
between pressing a pad and hearing the corresponding sound. The ideal audio buffer size also depends on
your computer’s CPU performance. Experiment with this to find the best setting for your system.
•
Active MIDI Inputs:
Displays available MIDI input devices. To enable a device, check the box next to its name.
