take most advantage of their speed, install them internally to a SATA III connection, or
externally via a USB 3.1 gen 1 or Thunderbolt 2 port, or higher.
Hard Disk Drive (SATA)
Mechanical hard drives running at 7200 rpm (non-energy saving) are the minimum drive
specification. They are slow, and need considerable memory for optimal performance.
It’s best to install these drives internally to a SATA III connection, or externally via eSATA
or USB 3.0. Slower connection types like USB 2.0 or Firewire 400 / 800 will offer much
less performance, and may not be fast enough for instruments with high voice counts.
RAID 0 Setup
This option is for professional users who want to achieve the highest performance con-
figuration when using drives to stream samples, by combining 2 drives into a single
volume to increase its speed. There are many resources available online that provide
instructions, or you can consult a computer specialist.
Other Considerations
To ensure best performance, it’s also recommended to have multiple drives dedicated
solely to streaming. This avoids bottlenecks with intensive projects that are streaming
thousands of voices simultaneously.
2.3.3 MIDI
In the MIDI PREFERENCES , set options for several important MIDI functions.
MIDI Channel Assignment
The MIDI CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT OPTIONS determine how instruments are assigned to MIDI channels.
• AUTO INCREMENT will assign each new loaded instrument to the next available MIDI
channel (1, 2, 3, etc).
• OMNI will assign instruments to re-
ceive MIDI on all channels (1-16).
Round Robin
The ROUND ROBIN OPTIONS determines what
MIDI CC or Note will reset the Round
Robin cycle back to the first rotation.
• RESET CONTROLLER allows you to select a
MIDI CC number to reset the Round
Robin (RR) cycle. Use the up or down
arrows, or click in the field and type a number directly in.
• RESET NOTE allows you to use a MIDI Note to reset the Round Robin (RR) cycle. Use the
up or down arrows, or click in the field and type the MIDI Note number directly in.
Articulations
The ARTICULATIONS OPTION includes the PROGRAM CHANGE TO ARTICULATION SWITCH that allows you to use
program changes in addition to keyswitches (simultaneously).
