These settings are immediately effective on the currently opened MIDI file.
- Min. gap [ms]
This is the time limit for consecutive notes to be considered as belonging to the same cluster. In cluster modes (e.g. One key hit per cluster) a cluster is played with one keystroke. See details about this setting in Options DB / General : Min. time gap [ms]
- Tempo [bpm]
This is a read-only box that indicates the current effective tempo on the song. The tempo is indicated in beats by minute. For instance if you have a tempo of 120 bpm in a 4/4 song, then thirty measures of the song will be played in one minute. To change the tempi encountered in a file by a constant factor, modify the tempo boost lower. Any tempo event encountered in the MIDI file will modify the tempo value displayed here as well.
- Tempo boost [%]
You may want to play a song slower than the tempo stored in the MIDI file, especially to get automatisms when you play a new song. You can as well play a song faster than indicated as you wish. Values greater than 100% will speed up the play, while values smaller than 100% will slow it down accordingly.
