Skip Instrument Selections for selected Out device(s)
Just plays the notes without saying which instrument to play them on

Wizard...
Configure FTS to work with the selected Out device...

The wizard does two tests - it tests if the device has channel 10 set to play non melodic percussion, and it tests to see if it can play several instruments simultaneously in the same midi out channel.

Notes in play...
Shows all the notes currently in play - midi channels and cents values...

Really, you only need this if curious to see where they are relayed too, and what the pitch bend values are in cents - some musicians like this information to be at hand for sequencing.

Most will probably find Bs | Notes in Play more useful.

This just shows the notes currently playing at this very moment - though you can also set it to refresh only on note ons so it then shows the situation as it was last time there was any activity.

Midi File Options...
Various options to configure how the midi recording is done

Pitch bend and retuning options...
Pitch bend ranges, adjust scale as you play, pitch bend ripples, etc

Help = F1
Click for help for this window. Or F1. Other opts: Shift, Alt, Ctrl + click...

F1 or click shows the help for the current window in your web browser.

Some windows may have no help yet in which case the help icon is shown crossed out with a red line.

Shift + F1 or Shift + Click brings up the tool tips extra help window (this window) to show any extra help for a tool tip.

You can tell if a tool tip has extra help if it ends ... like this one.

Ctrl + F1 or Ctrl + click takes you to the list of keyboard shortcuts for Tune Smithy.

Alt + F1 or Alt + click (alternatively Caps lock physically held down + F1 or Click) takes you to the on-line page at the robertinventor.com web site about the current main window task - which gives a short introduction to it for newbies to the program. If there is no on-line page specific to a task, takes you to the main tune smithy page on the web site.

Since the help for Tune Smithy is currently a bit out of date and needs to be redone completely for the new 3.0 release, then you may find the on-line page for some of the newer tasks particularly useful.

Organise Windows = F2
