SYSTEM CONFIGURATION			AMCS
OVERVIEW				the Advance Music Construction System


SUBJECT

	System Configuration: Overview


SUMMARY

	This part of the documentation explains the purpose and use of the
System Configuration. This section provides means to reference key information
when requiring support, manipulating behaviour of certain system components and
altering the player shuffle method.


DESCRIPTION

	The next part of this document will contain a list of section headings
and their component titles within the System Configuration followed by a brief
description of its use.

	In the system any content that can be modified will be present with
arrows next to it. An arrow going right is to suggest that the content can be
edited via keyboard or the virtual keyboard in the editor section of the system,
and arrows going up and down are to increase or decrease the current value.


GENERAL

	This section contains useful information regarding the system when
support is required in the unlikely event something does go wrong.

	BUILD

		This component contains the build identifier followed below by
		the architecture details. It is not editable.

	SERIAL

		This displays the licence status of the system. It is not
		editable.

MEMORY

	ALLOCATED

		This displays the currently alloted memory of the system. It is
		not editable.

	AVAILABLE

		This displays the available memory minus the cache for storing a
		song. It is not editable.

		Invoking this will tidy any temporary memory allocation of cut,
		copy and undo.

PLAYER

	PREVIEW

		By disabling this setting, any cue entered into the Track Matrix
		will not also preplay the current Instrument.

						Default: YES

	SHUT OFF

		Toggling this will switch between transmitted MIDI commands
		using a velocity based note off or a function base note off.

						Default: VELOCITY

SHUFFLE

	ENABLED

		This toggle enables the player to shuffle the patterns being
		played in the current song.

						Default: NO

	PATTERN

		Editing here with shuffle notation manipulates the shape of the
		shuffle.

						Default: =0=1=0=1

	PHASE

		This sets the initial shuffle polarity and cycle length at
		which the polarity is interleaved.

						Default: 2 late

	SKEW

		Changing this will essentially make any shuffle time divisors
		curve more angular, giving a tighter shuffle.

						Range: 0-99, Default: 50

	INTENSITY

		Altering this will modify the overall influence of the shuffle.

						Range: 0-99, Default: 50
