ABSYNTH 5 Reference Manual – 140
10.1 Global Features
Some elements of the Perform Window can always be seen independently of the selected
Page: the Global Settings Bar, the Master Envelope, and the Audio In section.
10.1.1 Global Settings Bar
The Global Settings Bar provides you with access to the following global settings:
Polyphonycontrol: This denes the number of voices produced by ABSYNTH5. This set-
ting affects all Presets.
dBcontrol: This sets the output level for the current Preset (in dB). If you use multiple
Presets with the same level, but with different resulting volume effects, you can adjust
the differences in volume here. You can raise the output level by up to 24 dB or lower it
by any amount.
MIDIChannelmenu: This sets the MIDI channels, which effect ABSYNTH 5. You can se-
lect one of the MIDI Channels between 1 and 16 so that ABSYNTH only reacts to the
MIDI messages received on this one channel. If you select Omni, ABSYNTH 5 gives all
MIDI messages a value independent of which channel they were transmitted on.
Tempocontrol(BPM): This determines the global tempo. This setting affects, for example,
the effects that depend on tempo.
Transpose: This shifts the global pitch into half tone steps. The resolution is by 1/10 cent,
which is the minimal step width and can also be described as one thousandth of a half-
toTuning menu: With this you select a global Tuning. You can select one from the pre-
dened Tunings or create your own Tuning on the Tuning Page (for more information on
this, see section 10.7 “Tuning Page”).
