Project - MIDI

Figure 346. The MIDI section

The MIDI section lets you specify how MIDI continuous controllers are handled when playback starts and stops.

The MIDI section contains the following settings:

Options

Zero Controllers When Play Stops. If you choose this option, Music Creator sets the controller values of the pitch wheel, the sustain pedal, and the modulation wheel on all 16 MIDI channels to zero. It also sends a “zero all continuous controllers” MIDI message which turns off other continuous controllers on newer synthesizers. If you experience frequent stuck notes when playback stops, try checking this option.

Patch/Controller Searchback Before Play Starts. If you choose this option, Music Creator finds and sends the most recent patch changes, wheel events, and pedal events before starting playback. This way, all settings are correct even if you start playback at an arbitrary point in the project.
