Setting Up Clip Properties

The contents of this options box partially depends on the type of data in the clip, audio or MIDI. The common settings are:

• [Name]{.dfn}: the full name of the clip’s file, usually visible in its shortened form.

• [Load]{.dfn}: this button allows loading a clip’s file into the selected trigger slot.

• [Color]{.dfn}: opens up a color chooser dialog to set the color of the clip’s title inside the trigger slot.

The only audio-specific setting is [Gain (dB)]{.dfn} which adjusts the output volume of a clip.

For MIDI clips, there are several specific options:

• [Velocity Adj]{.dfn}: this effectively adjusts the output volume by increasing the velocity of MIDI notes.

• [Send Patches]{.dfn}: this enables sending a control message to load a particular patch. This is typically used for external MIDI gear such a hardware synthesizers.

• [MIDI Patches]{.dfn}: clicking this button will open a dialog where a patch can be selected to send when a MIDI clip is triggered.
