Synthesizer Type Settings

Figure 2.21: Setting of synthesizer type

Many MIDI sound generators (a synthesizer, soundmodule or soundcard) offer possibilities to choose an extended number of instruments (more than the 128 General MIDI instruments), or to control things like sound colour, reverb/chorus settings or time-variant filters. This is done by sending specific MIDI commands from the sequencer (bank-, NRPN- and SYSEX-events). However, the parameters of these commands are different depending on which standard your sound generator supports.

To allow JAZZ++ to get the most out of your MIDI sound generator, you should choose the synthesizer type option that corresponds most closely to your equipment.

Options are:

The 'Auto send MIDI reset' options control the conditions for when JAZZ++ should send a MIDI reset command (corresponding to the synthesizer type) to the synthesizer device.

Files saved from JAZZ++ will always contain a MIDI reset near the beginning of track 0.
