2.4 OTHER AXS.INI SETTINGS
Besides the settings stored in AXS.INI for sound- and MIDI-devices, there
are a few settings which affect the graphical interface and the
audio quality. These settings are described below.
Audio settings
SAMPLERATE=8192..48000 (Hz)
The samplerate determines how many samples are calculated
every second. Higher rates will increase the audio quality
(especially higher notes) but will also require more CPU power.
Note that the value you place here is a requested samplerate.
It may be possible your sound device does not support that
exact samplerate. In that case AXS, at startup, shows you which
samplerate it is really using.
STEREO=ON/OFF
When stereo output is activated the effects engine will
produce a stereo output signal. Stereo output greatly enhances
the audio quality but requires a bit more CPU power.
AWE64SPDIF=ON/OFF
When this is enabled, the AWE64 wave output is sent to
the S/PDIF connector. This works only on AWE64 cards and
does not affect other SB cards.
MAXVOICES=1..64
This setting determines how many voices can be playing at
one time. You can normally leave this at 64 and lower the
samplerate when you're CPU power runs out. However setting it
to a lower value can be useful in live situations where
you want to be absolutely sure your CPU does not stress out
when playing some tunes.
Remember voices with a long amplitude release time are
great at using up voices. If you're creating a song
and you're out of CPU power, check if maybe there's
an instrument with an unnecessary long release time.
DRUMKIT=.drm filename
The drumkit setting can be used to automatically load
an AXS drumkit file when starting AXS. The filename can be
relative to the AXS directory or absolute.
User interface settings
WAITFORKEY=ON/OFF
This settings determines if AXS waits for a keypress at
startup. Normally it is enabled so you can see if all devices
have initialised properly. When an error occurs, AXS will
wait for a keypress regardless of this setting.
MIDIGUI=ON/OFF
This setting can be used to disable the VESA 2.0
graphical user interface. What you end up with is a sound
module, without an interface but, like always, fully MIDI
controllable.
COLORSET=0..4
This setting determines the color palette used by
the graphical user interface.
- 0 = Classic blue
- 1 = Very fake wood
- 2 = Swedish red
- 3 = Jungley green
- 4 = Frosty gray
FOOLMOUSE=ON/OFF
If you're experiencing mouse problems (especially when
the mouse can not move across the screen properly) try setting
FOOLMOUSE=ON. AXS will then use a different method of
initialising your mouse, which hopefully fixes the problem.
WINSTYLEKNOB=ON/OFF
Enable this setting if you want to rotate knobs using
vertical mouse movement. When disabled, knobs will react to
horizontal mouse movement.
