Song Settings and Preferences
Both the Song Settings and the Preferences… can be
reached via Options > Settings > …. Both consist of a dia-
log box which allows you to access various different sub-
pages. Some of these pages can also be reached directly
from MAGIX midi studio generation 6’s local menus (for
example in the Score window), or from the transport but-
tons, via pop-up menus.
The Song Settings and Preferences are where you can de-
fine some of MAGIX midi studio generation 6’s basic op-
erating parameters. This section explains each of these
windows’ menu items individually. Unless indicated oth-
erwise, the descriptions of the various options are the ones
that apply when the checkbox next to the option is crossed
(in other words, when it’s active).
Song Settings
Song settings are saved independently with each song,
which means that different songs can have different song
settings. You can save all of your standard settings in a
template song. This way, you can start each MAGIX midi
studio generation 6 session with your preferred working
setup.
Recording Options
This page can be reached via Options > Settings > Record-
ing Options…, or via Recording Options… in the metro-
nome switch pull-down menu on the Transport bar.
The settings here determine how MAGIX midi studio
generation 6 responds in record mode. If this page is
open, you can enable/disable some of the checkboxes via
the computer keyboard using the keys indicated in brack-
ets after the function. While this page is open, any key
commands normally assigned to these keys will be tempo-
rarily deactivated.
Merge New Recording With Selected Sequences: After each
recording, all newly-recorded data is merged with all the
selected sequences on the recorded track, to form one se-
quence. At the same time, the following function is auto-
matically activated (see below).
Merge only New Sequences in Cycle Record (n): When re-
cording with Cycle Mode enabled, this function merges all
data recorded during later cycles to the sequence recorded
during the first cycle. It can be used independently of
Merge New Recording With Selected Sequences.
Auto Mute in Cycle Record (m): If recording with Cycle
Mode enabled, this function creates a new sequence for
