==Sampling Interval==
 
  
The sampling interval can be set between a minimum and a maximum value, in milliseconds. The minimum value is 1 ms. The maximum value is 16383 ms, ie. about 16 seconds. Setting the sampling interval to its minimum may result in a delayed response of EditorX or whichever software or device that is receiving the MIDI messages as it may be overwhelmed by the number of MIDI messages. It is often not useful to set the sampling interval to its minimum given that many sensors don't update as frequently as the sampling interval implies. Consult the product page of the sensor to determine the sensor's update rate. The theoretical sampling rate in Hertz (Hz) can be derived from the sampling interval using the formula 1000 / sampling_interval. Note however, that, depending on its configuration, the digitizer easily takes more than 1 ms to complete all processing so that the actual sampling rate will be lower than implied by the sampling interval. See also the [[Firmware-810_Command-013 |INTERVAL]] and [[Firmware-810_Command-013 |DUMP INTERVAL]] commands.

The mode of operation can be set as standalone or host. EditorX sets a digitizer to standalone mode immediately after establishing a connection with a digitizer since EditorX can only configure the standalone mode settings of a digitizer. In standalone mode the configuration is stored in a digitizer so that it can be used without requiring a computer to configure it each time before using it. In standalone mode the digitizer is outputting data ready for use by the receiving device(s). If the sensor input is mapped to actuator outputs, the receiving device(s) would include the actuators.

Muting can be set to on or off, and configures the digitizer to stop sampling of all sensor inputs so that no data is output by the digitizer. Changing the mode of operation of the digitizer, clearing the configuration to default settings or re-powering the digitizer turns off muting, ie. enables sampling of sensor inputs again.

MIDI Out Port

The MIDI Out Port pull-down menu will show the available MIDI ports that are available for forwarding channel voice MIDI messages from the connected digitizer. This setting cannot be saved in the digitizer but it can be saved as an EditorX preset. EditorX must be running for this feature to be operational. In the picture below the MacOS default synthesis engine is selected, and sensor data can be mapped to a MIDI message to generate sound.

OSC

EditorX can be configured to output and/or receive OSC (Open Sound Control) messages. The Edit button opens the OSC window. The On/Off button enables/disables sending and receiving of OSC messages. To use the OSC feature EditorX has to stay running.


Recording

The Edit button opens the Recording window. The Start/Stop button starts/stops recording. The Open/Close button opens/closes the Recording window with more controls. To use the recording feature EditorX has to stay running.
