EditorX-81 Sampling

The Sampling section sets the sample interval, muting and activation status.

All Inputs

Sets whether to turn all inputs on or off.

Muting

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. See also the SET MUTE command.

Solo

Solo indicates whether processing for all inputs except one has been disabled. The selected sensor input and, if the sensor input is configured for a digital sensor, virtual input will be shown next to the solo button. Clicking the solo button will disable the solo function so that all active sensor inputs are processed and output again. In the picture below, virtual input 2 of sensor input 1 has been selected and is output only. Solo is disabled by default after a reset or upon powering the digitizer. This feature is useful when utilising MIDI learn of other software that is receiving the MIDI messages from the digitizer.

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 INTERVAL and DUMP INTERVAL commands.
