Loading and Saving Note Slider Layouts
If you have created a complex configuration of Note Sliders, you might want to save it so that it can be used again later. Overtone Analyzer will automatically remember the slider layouts for the last few audio recordings, but you can also explicitly save a slider layout so that you can use it for different audio files, or on their own.
Saving a slider layout
Click on and specify where you want to save the layout file. The file type ending is .oa (for Overtone Analyzer Files).
Loading a slider layout
Click on to open an existing .oa file. This will replace your current slider layout.
Export note sliders as MIDI
Click on to save the current note slider layout into a MIDI file which can be played by many audio programs, and which can be imported as a note track into your music notation software.
At the bottom of the export dialog you can choose if you want to export just the fundamental notes, or the fundamentals and the overtones. The latter option is only relevant if you have transcribed or composed a piece with overtones, where the Note Sliders have a fundamental, and at least one overtone. In that case the fundamentals and overtones will be exported as two separate voices.
Specifying the default layout for new files
By default, when you create a new file, you will have a single Note Slider with a fundamental frequency of 220Hz (which is the note A3). If you simply want to change the number of displayed sliders, or turn sliders off for new documents, go to Options / Customize / Advanced Settings and change the Initial number of Note Sliders.
You can also save a slider layout as DefaultSliderLayout.oa into the folder where VoceVista is installed. After you restart the application, new documents will use this layout. Note: You still have to set the number of sliders to appear in the advanced options.
