Using MAGIX midi studio generation 6
You don’t have to save screensets with an explicit com-
mand. It happens automatically as soon as you switch to
another screenset. Thus, without any effort, your current
working view is always stored on the current screenset.
Switching Screensets: Just input the number of the de-
sired screenset (1—9). For two-digit screensets hold down
alt while inputting the first digit.
Protecting Screensets: Use the key command Lock/un-
lock current screenset to protect the current screenset from
being altered. A # then appears in front of the screenset
number. Repeat the key command to unlock the
screenset.
The New Song command deactivates all Screenset locks.
Copying Screensets: To copy the current screenset to a
destination screenset, hold down shift when you switch
screensets.
Copying Screensets between Songs: Close all the windows
you want to copy in the screenset, switch to the other song,
and reopen the editors. They will have retained their sizes
and shapes in the new song.
The reason for this is that the preset values for window po-
sition, size, and all other pertinent parameters are stored
in memory when you manually close a window, so that the
settings remain the same the next time windows of the
same type are opened again.
Sequencer-controlled Switching: You can automati-
cally switch screensets using meta event # 49—just add it
to a sequence in the Event Editor.
– Set the song position to the point where you’d like the
screenset to change.
– Right mouseclick in the Event Editor on the button
shown. The inserted meta event has the default value
50 (Song Select).
– Alter the number in the NUM column from 50 to 49.
This changes the name to Screenset.
– Input the desired screenset number in the data bythe
column (VAL).
You can stop the switching by muting the sequence that
contains the Meta 49 event.
