Global Settings

  • Master Volume

    This setting is not affected by changing the sound preset.

  • Sync Method

    You can set the synchronization method of the arpeggiator.

  • Tempo

    When the synchronization method is internal sync or Ableton Link, you can change the tempo of the arpeggiator.

  • Timing

    Adjust the trigger timing.

  • Audio Buffer Size

    The audio buffer size affects the amount of latency and the CPU usage. Higher setting will reduce crackling noise at high CPU usage, but also cause more latency.

  • Background Audio

    If background audio is enabled, this app will consume battery power significantly even if other apps are running or if your screen is turned off.

  • MIDI Input Ports

    You can set which MIDI input port to receive.

  • MIDI Input Channel

    When the OMNI is OFF this app will receive only on the currently selected channel.

  • Bluetooth MIDI Device

    You can connect Bluetooth MIDI compatible controllers.

  • MIDI Mapping - File

    You can save/load MIDI mapping settings.

  • MIDI Mapping - Takeover Mode
    • None

      As soon as you operate the MIDI controller, it will be reflected to the parameter. If the MIDI controller value and the parameter value are different, the parameter value will jump.

    • Pickup

      If the MIDI controller value is different from the parameter value, the parameter value will not be changed until the MIDI controller value crosses the currently set parameter value. However, even in this mode, if the MIDI controller is operated when the parameter value is out of the range set by the MIDI mapping, the set parameter value jumps to the boundary value of the range.

  • Include the MIDI mapping settings in the sound preset file
    • When Saving:

      ON: Save the MIDI mapping settings in the sound preset file.

      OFF: Save the sound preset file without including the MIDI mapping settings.

    • When Loading:

      ON: If there are MIDI mapping settings in the sound preset file, it will be loaded. If there are no MIDI mapping settings in the sound preset file, the current MIDI mapping settings will not change.

      OFF: Even if there are MIDI mapping settings in the sound preset file, it will not be loaded.
