General Settings

The preferences that decide how Visibox behaves rather than what it plays.


The General category of the Settings window, showing the Language, Launch, Display, Content and Advanced sections
General settings, grouped into Language, Launch, Display, Content and Advanced.

Language

Language sets the language of the Visibox interface. System Default follows your computer’s language. Everything repaints as soon as you pick, with no restart. This is the only place the language is set.

Launch

SettingWhat it does
Launch at LoginStart Visibox when you log in to your computer.
Reopen Projects on LaunchReopen the Projects that were open when you last quit. On by default.
Launch Full ScreenStart with the Output already full screen. Made for a machine that does nothing but run the show.
Play on LaunchStart playback as soon as the Project is open.

Launch at Login, Reopen Projects on Launch, Launch Full Screen and Play on Launch together make an unattended setup: power on, log in, and the show is running with nobody at the keyboard.

Display

SettingWhat it does
Control BarShow or hide the Control Bar across the top of the Controller.
12-Hour TimeShow the clock as 12-hour instead of 24-hour.
Show SecondsAdd seconds to the clock.

Content

SettingWhat it does
Simple Titles for New SongsName new Songs “New Song” instead of picking a random space-themed name.
Auto-Assign Program ID to New SongsGive each new Song the next free Program Identifier, so MIDI program change can reach it without you setting one by hand. On by default.
Confirm Before Deleting ClipsAsk before a Clip is deleted. On by default.
Trigger Clips on PressFire a Clip the moment you press it rather than on release, in the Song list and in the Preview Pane alike. On by default.

Advanced

Enable Beta Features turns on the features that are still being finished. They work, but they change between releases, so leave this off on the machine you are playing a show with tonight.
