This window contains the following settings:

  • Routine

  • Timing

    Option that specifies how soon commands in the routine are delivered to the performance. The three timing options are shown in the following table.

    Option Effect
    Quick Response Commands are processed immediately, regardless of its time stamp. By default, command messages are prepared approximately 1000 milliseconds earlier than their time stamps.
    Before Time Stamp  Commands are processed just before their time stamps, allowing for port latency.
    At Time Stamp Commands are processed exactly at their time stamps.

    In general, you should select Quick Response to ensure that commands are delivered in a timely manner.

  • Start Time

    Time at which the routine is called.

  • Belongs To

    Bar and beat with which the routine is logically associated. See Belongs to Beat.
