Save MIDI Setup

Controls: Sgram/PT Dialog >> Pitch-to-MIDI >> Save Setup
Macro: SaveDQM

The Save Setup button is near the bottom of the Pitch-to-MIDI dialog. You can activate this at any time to save the current MIDI setup to a named .DQM file.

A MIDI setup file includes all information from the Pitch-to-MIDI dialog and its children, plus Track Limits, Pitch Hysteresis, and +/-Octaves settings from the Pitch Track Toolbox. But it does not include main Daqarta settings such as Trigger controls or Trace Update interval, which can have a large effect on Pitch-to-MIDI behavior.

However, it does include the main Daqarta Notes text, which you can enter before saving the setup, to serve as a reminder to yourself (or someone you exchange the setup with) about important settings.

Note: The current values of all Pitch-to-MIDI settings are saved automatically when Daqarta exits, and restored upon start, just as if you had manually saved and loaded them as a MIDI Setup.


Macro Notes:

The SaveDQM= macro has no effect if any File Open or Save As dialog is already active.

SaveDQM= without a name will open the Save As dialog showing all .DQM files, with the default set to MIDIset or the most recent .DQM name.

SaveDQM="MyFile" will open the Save As dialog with the default name set to MyFile. (Note that quotes are needed around all filenames in macros.) If you accept this by hitting Enter or the Save button in that dialog, Daqarta will assume you want to save a file named MyFile.DQM. If that file already exists, you will be prompted to replace it.

After either of the above commands, you may use IF.Posn?f=0 to see if the user has hit Cancel instead of choosing a file name. This allows your macro to exit gracefully or take other action.

A.SaveDQM="MyFile" will save MyFile.DQM directly, without any Save As dialog. Note that if the file already exists, it will be overwritten without any confirmation prompt.

SaveDQM can use string variables and expressions. For example, SaveDQM=Field1 will use the contents of Field1 as the default file name, and A.SaveDQM=Field1 will save a file with that name directly.

Similarly, if the Macro Variable Var0 holds a value of 12, then SaveDQM="Test"+Var0 will set a default file name of Test12. If you expect to use a large series of files, you can use SaveDQM="Test"+Var0(3) (for example) to set the decimal format to 3 integer places to get Test012. This will allow proper sorting by file name.
