4.3

Number of Parts LED

This LED determines the number of synth parts saved to the midi file.

Normally the saved file will only include tracks for System data, A to Ds and 16 synth parts. On multi port

synths the user may choose to save all 32 synth parts. However, since there is no way to represent port

number within a midi file, the user will have to perform this assignment later within a sequencer.

The status of the Parts option will be saved in XGEDIT.INI for use in future sessions..

4.4

Thru LED

This LED selects whether midi thru is enabled. If enabled; midi messages (with the exception of system

exclusive) appearing at the input device will automatically be transferred to the output. If the current part is

set to a specific midi channel 1 - 16 then all messages will be re-channellised to this channel. If the current

part is set to ‘NO’ (i.e. the part is disabled), then no re-channellisation occurs.

For multi-port use, re-channellisation occurs together with automatic port selection.

The LED’s state will be saved in XGEDIT.INI for use in future sessions.

4.5

Transport Buttons

These buttons control Midi File Playback

When a midi file is loaded the transport buttons are enabled and allow the file to be auditioned.

The current midi file play capabilities of XGedit are limited i.e. the editor only allows playback from the start

to end of a file. As such, the playback functionality is only designed to allow auditioning of a merged midi file

and for experimenting with edits. In general the program is better used in parallel with a sequencer.

Performing any file operations will automatically stop file playback.

Note that the merge operation also strips non XG data from the setup bars of a midi file. Consequently non

XG data files may not play properly after merging.

4.6

PPQ Dial

This determines the resolution of the saved midi file e.g. a value of 120 implies that there are 120 midi ticks

per quarter note.

The higher the resolution, the greater the accuracy of playback timing. However slower PCs may have

problems playing back files at very high resolution.

In general a value of 384 is recommended for 486 based machines and a values of 480 for Pentiums

The Time base setting will be saved in XGEDIT.INI for use in future sessions..
