The Color Settings dialog is used for setting the colors of the TrueTone Editor workspace. The set of colors differs for Typical mode and "MIDI only" mode.
The spectrum in the Main Window is composed of shades of three colors:
Background – The color of the spectrum background or zero-level.
Spectrum Middle Point – The color of the area of medium intensity.
Spectrum Maximum Point- The color of the area of maximum intensity.
Notes - The color of the rectangles corresponding to musical notes.
Selected Note - The color of the rectangles corresponding to the selected notes.
Selection Frame - The color of the selection rectangle.
Selection - The fill-color of the selection rectangle.
Playing Position - The color of the line indicating the place being played at the current moment.
Bars - The color of the lines indicating the bars positions.
A number of items are absent in "MIDI only" mode, while others have been added:
Note Fill - the color filling the musical note rectangles.
The color squares on the right show the current color corresponding to the selected item. Clicking on Color lets you choose the color from a list. Select the item "Custom…" to bring up an expanded color selection dialog.
Contrast – controls the relative brightness of the most intense and weakest sections of the spectrum. When the contrast is too high only the loudest notes are visible; when it is too low a large amount of interference appears on the screen.
The Presets section lets you save color schemes and export them to a file with a special format (extension .wnec). You may read about using set-up files in more detail in the section entitled Saving Settings.
