properties can be altered, so you can select the MIDI Out devices you want to use.
The MIDI In and MIDI Out port are connected by default (messages received on an incoming channel are
forwarded to the corresponding outgoing channel). When a software instrument is used in record mode the
MIDI In channel being used is disconnected from the MIDI Out channel.
Note: Interconnecting a MIDI In and MIDI Out port creates a loop that will slow down (and ultimately halt)
your computer. MultitrackStudio will detect this loop and disconnect the MIDI in and out devices in order to
avoid freezing the computer.
Virtual MIDI channels
A MIDI Out Device contains 16 MIDI channels. MIDI Out devices are virtualized by MultitrackStudio,
meaning that a single MIDI channel on a MIDI Out device can be used by more than one stream.

MultitrackStudio will automatically take care of playing each note using its own stream's patch and
controllers. Obviously, this only works if streams using the same MIDI channel don't play notes at the same
time.
The following controllers have a default value, and don't need any attention:
l
Modulation (#1)
l
Volume (#7)
l
Pan (#10)
l
Expression (#11)
l
Sustain (#64)
l
Soft (#67)
l
Brightness (#74)
l
Reverb (#91)
l
Chorus (#93)
l
Aftertouch
l
Pitch
All other controllers do not have a default value. If they are used in one stream they should be defined in all
other streams using the same channel on the same MIDI Out Device.
8.2 Sampler
MultitrackStudio includes a disk-streaming sampler. Samples can be played direct from disk, so patches
can be larger than the amount of RAM memory available.
can be larger than the amount of RAM memory available.
Sampler window
Using the Load Patch button you can load a patch. Sampler patches are files with .PTC extension. Other
formats (.SF2, .GIG or .SFZ files) can be selected as well, doing this will invoke the built-in patch converter.
See also Organizing your patches.
The Edit Patch button invokes the Patch Editor.
The Polyphony setting can be used to limit the number of sampler that can be played simultaneously in
order to reduce CPU or disk usage. For example: the number of playing samples can become quite large
while playing piano if the sustain pedal is kept down for a long time. Reducing polyphony can help in this
situation.
The controls in the Controls section override the values stored in the Patch (as set by the Patch Editor).
