Enable MIDI Program Changes

Check this box to make

Synplant

respond to "MIDI program change messages".

Please read the

Program Slots

section for more information.

Select Branches with MIDI Notes

If you uncheck this box,

Synplant

will not automatically select branches

(for planting /

cloning etc)

when you play notes on your MIDI keyboard or from your sequencer. It

may be useful to turn this off if you wish to edit your plant while you are playing a
song in your sequencer.

Reset, Load, Save, Make Default

Use the Reset button to reset all MIDI configuration settings to default. Clicking this
button will also reset any reassigned MIDI controllers. Use the Load… and Save…
buttons to store or restore the entire MIDI configuration. Finally, the Make Default
button makes the current configuration the default configuration that will be used
every time you create a new instance of

Synplant

Program Slots

Both the VST and AU versions of

Synplant

feature a set of 16 internal "program

slots". Each slot stores a patch and it is possible to instantly switch between them.
When using the VST version you usually choose the program from a popup menu in
your host application. You may also enable "MIDI program changes" using the

MIDI

Config Dialog

and send program change messages to switch programs.

(If you are

using the AU version of Synplant, MIDI program changes are the only way to access the dif-
ferent slots.)

The first time you launch

Synplant

an initial selection of 16 factory patches will be

stored in the slots. Whenever you load or modify a patch, it will be automatically re-
loaded to the same slot the next time you start

Synplant

. This concept allows you to

use the memory slots as a list of favorite patches.

Evaluation

For evaluation purposes you are allowed to try

Synplant

without charge for a limited

period of time. The total time of the trial is three weeks, but weeks are only counted
when you actually launch and play with

Synplant

. For example, it is possible to try

Synplant

for up to a week right after installing it, then go on a long vacation and

come back and you would still have two weeks left of the trial time.

When the trial period is over, your

Synplant

will wither and die and stop producing

sound. The only way to bring it back to life is by registering your copy. In order to do
so you need a personal registration code that can be purchased online from the

Sonic Charge

website. Please go to

http://soniccharge.com

for pricing and more in-

formation.
