Modplug Tracker Setup

The setup screen allows you to customize most functions of Modplug Tracker. You can access the setup through the View menu, or from the setup button in the main toolbar.

General Setup

The general setup screen allows you to configure the default directories used when opening songs, samples and instruments. You can also select miscellaneous options of Modplug Tracker: each of them has a little description displayed next to the option list.

Sound Card Setup


Player Setup


Equalizer Setup

This section allows you to control the gain (or attenuation) for each of the 6 frequency bands: 125Hz, 300Hz, 600Hz, 1.2kHz, 4kHz and 8kHz. The gain for each frequency band goes from -12dB to +12dB. Like any other effect, try not to abuse of the EQ, especially if you're a composer, since listeners might not have the same EQ preferences. Since Modplug Tracker v1.09, you can also select the center frequency for each band, by right-clicking on the slider, and save up to 4 different presets

Keyboard Setup

This section allows you to customize the keyboard so that you can assign a note to a key. You can have up to 3 octaves on the keyboard, but all notes assigned to the spacebar will be ignored (You can use only 2 octaves if you map all the notes in an octave to the spacebar). The 'Enable FT2 shortcut keys' option allows you to use the right-ctrl and right-alt (AltGr) as shortcuts for Play and Play Pattern.
You can also customize some of the shortcut keys

Colors Setup

You can customize most of the colors used in Modplug Tracker by selecting an item and changing the corresponding colors.

Midi Setup

This section allows you to select the midi input device used by ModPlug Tracker when recording from an external midi keyboard. Both checkboxes should be checked, unless you have a specific reason for not wanting it.
