I/O Settings: When you are using Arsenal in Standalone Mode, click this button to open the

Audio/MIDI Settings window, which lets you configure Arsenal's audio and MIDI settings in the

same way you would configure those of your DAW:

Important: This window is available in Standalone Mode only.

• Audio Device Type: Click this and select the type of device you want to use for audio

input and output.

• Output: Click this drop-down menu to select the audio hardware driver you want to use

to play audio from Arsenal. Click the Test button to play a tone through that driver.

• Input: Click this drop-down menu to select the audio hardware driver you want to use to

send audio into Arsenal.

• Sample Rate: Click this to drop-down menu to select the desired sample rate. Your

selection should depend on your audio interface's available sample rates.

• Audio Buffer Size: Click this drop-down menu to set the latency of your audio system.

Lower values result in a more immediate response but also more CPU consumption,

which may result in audible clicks and pops. Higher values are much more CPU-friendly

but produce a higher latency, resulting in a delay between hitting a pad and hearing the

corresponding sound. The ideal audio buffer size also depends on your computer's CPU

performance. Experiment with this to find the best setting for your system.

• Active MIDI Inputs: These checkboxes represent the active MIDI inputs on your

computer system. (Make sure that MIDI Port 1 is enabled for standard MIDI, MIDI Port 2

is enabled for Mackie Control or HUI communication, and MIDI Port 3 is either disabled

or not shown.)

• MIDI Output: Click this drop-down menu to define the MIDI out port that Trigger Finger

Pro's MIDI messages are routed to (if any).
