Matrix Background Colors: Matrix Color Setup Panel
The Matrix Editor (see “Display” on page 468) features a grid that follows the pattern of
the keyboard keys shown on the left hand side. The colors of the Matrix window grid,
background, lines, and so on can be adjusted for both the “Light” and “Dark”
Background views with the parameters in this recessed panel.
• White Keys: Double-click on the color swatch to launch the Mac OS X Colors applet.
Select or determine the desired color for the grid lines aligned with the white
keyboard keys.
• Black Keys: As above, for the black keyboard keys.
• C, D, E Key Brightness: This slider allows you to intensify the brightness of these
specific keys in all octaves, making transposition easier by providing a consistent
reference point.
• Bar Lines/Dotted: As with the White and Black Keys options, you can select a color for
the bar lines. The Dotted checkbox will change the appearance of the solid bar line
to a dotted line.
• Beat Lines/Dotted: As above for beat lines.
• Division Lines/Dotted: As above for division lines.
• Reset: This button resets all user changes to default values.
Score Preferences
The Score Preferences are described in detail in the Score chapter (see “Score
Preferences” on page 574).
Video Preferences
Adjustments: Video to Song
A global setting for fine tuning the start point of a movie.
Adjustments: External Video to Song
The same setting as above, but for external FireWire Video devices. This setting
compensates for the latency of the video hardware in use, if applicable.
Video Thumbnail track: Cache Resolution
Resolution of the thumbnails kept in the temporary internal memory (Cache). Higher
resolutions display more detail, but take up more space in the cache.
Video Thumbnail track: Maximum Cache Size
Amount of memory reserved for the thumbnail cache. 40 Mb is recommend for
medium resolution. For higher resolutions use a higher value. This section of reserved
memory will only be occupied when actual movie data is displayed.
