MIDI Machine Control. If Send is checked in the Sync menu, this will send an MMC-start command.

MIDI Bar Display. Changes the Timeline calibration to bars rather than minutes and seconds. If the Grid is set to Bars, it will match. Both are controlled by the Tempo settings.

Soundcard I/O. This allows you to select which input on your sound card you want to record from. The options will depend on the card. The Listen button allows you to check; switch it off after use. If there is a Master option, that will record all the existing tracks, the same as "Master Project" in the file menu. It could also be used for bouncing down tracks if your project is getting overloaded. The right hand column allows you to select alternative outputs. There may be only one option here.

Set Sample Rate. This can only be done in a new project with no samples loaded. It sets the sample rate which will be used for recording. If you record immediately, this rate will be used. If you load a sample before recording, the rate will change to that of the sample. Normally, the rate of a new project is set by the first loaded sample. You cannot combine samples of various rates in one project, so any that don't match will have to be resampled with a sample processing program. It is best to keep all your samples at 44.1KHz.

Tempo Settngs. Opens the Tempo requester.

MIDI Remote Setup. Opens the requester for use with external MIDI controllers.

MIDI remote control allows you to control the mixer and the transport controls remotely, by connecting a specialized MIDI controller such as the Kenton Control Freak.

(http://www.kenton.co.uk/productspecs/cfrkintro.html) or the Peavey PC-1600X. Other MIDI devices as synthesizers or MIDI pedal boards can be used as well.

To control parameters of a mixer channel, select the Category "Channel" from the pull-down menu at the top left of the window and enter the channel number in the edit box right next to it. The parameters that you can control remotely, are displayed in the listview. For matching a parameter to a MIDI controller, select a parameter in the listview and enter the MIDI channel and control change number of the MIDI controller you want to use at the bottom of the window. Repeat this for all parameters you wish to control remotely.

You can change parameters of other categories in the same way. The 'Bank up' and 'Bank down' parameters in the Misc category allow you to control banks of 8 channels. For example, if your controller has 8 sliders and 8 buttons, it can be set up to control the volumes and mutes of channel 1 to 8. Pressing 'Bank up' will now control channels 9 - 16.

Remote set-ups can be loaded and saved by the buttons at the right. 'Clear setup' erases all parameters.

Note: The camd.library is required to use remote control.
