MIDI Preferences

The MIDI Preferences tab is shown below:

This tab has the following options:

Device Type Sets the Device Type to be either a Peak or a Summit. Set according to the Device type that you are connecting to.
Keyboard Input MIDI Port Sets the port used for accepting MIDI data from a keyboard and routing it to the output MIDI port using the MIDI Router Dialog.
Keyboard Input MIDI Channel Sets the channel to be used for transmitting MIDI data using the MIDI Router Dialog. The first option Use Source Channel in the drop down list, means that the MIDI channel from the source device is not altered.
Input MIDI Port Sets the port used for MIDI input from the available ports.
Output MIDI Port Sets the port used for MIDI output from the available ports.
Timeout Delay
Sets the time that summit.factory waits for a response from the Peak/Summit before timing out and reporting an error. The value is specified in milliseconds.
Transmit Buffer Size
Sets the size of the transmit buffer used for sending data to the Peak/Summit. Some MIDI interfaces don't like data coming in big chunks and you may need to set this to get a reliable transfer of data. The value is specified in milliseconds.
Transmit Delay Between Buffers
This sets the delay that summit.factory waits for between sending buffer sized data packets. The value is specified in milliseconds.
Transmit Delay Between Objects
This sets the delay that summit.factory waits for after sending a complete object. The value is specified in milliseconds.
Automatically Update Peak/Summit after Synth Window Edit When this option is checked, if the Peak/Summit Synthesizer Window is edited then the edited data will be automatically sent to the Peak/Summit.
Read Peak/Summit MIDI Data On summit.factory Startup When this option is checked the Programs and Play Lists (if enabled) are read from the Peak/Summit during the summit.factory startup phase.
Include Multis In Bulk Transfer When this option is checked, the Summit Multis are included in bulk transfers. You may wish to uncheck this option if you don't use Multis.
Include System Settings In Bulk Transfer When this option is checked, the System Settings are included in bulk transfers. You may wish to uncheck this option if you don't wish to store System Settings in your files.
Test Peak/Summit MIDI Settings Tests to see if MIDI communications is working using the specified values. The test:
  1. Sends a Universal SYSEX Device Inquiry message on the specified MIDI output port
  2. Waits for a response on the specified MIDI input port. If the response times out an error message is displayed
  3. Checks to see if the expected response is received. If not then an error message is displayed
