Piano and Overtone Instrument
The two settings for Piano Instrument and Overtone Instrument control the instruments used for playing tones
when you press keys on the piano, or labels on the Overtone Sliders. You have a choice between a large list of
standard MIDI instruments, and between a sine wave generator that plays pure sine waves:
Figure 4.30. Piano and Overtone Instruments
Sine Wave Generator
The first entry in the list, with the label Pure Sine Wave, uses a tone generator that plays pure sine waves with
high accuracy.
MIDI Instruments
All other entries use the standard MIDI instruments, and their sound depends on the quality of your sound card or
of your connected keyboard. Their volume is controlled by the MIDI Volume slider.
The frequency of the MIDI Instruments may be less accurate than that of the sine wave generator.
Loop playback
If this option is checked, playback of the current file or selection will be repeated in a loop. Otherwise, playback
will stop when it reaches the end of the current selection or file.
