Main Window

This window outlines SousaFX’s audio signal flow, and links to the audio effects, controller bindings, and settings.

Important

Closing this window quits SousaFX. Click the sunset icon on the bottom-right to quit more gracefully. SousaFX auto-saves some settings on shutdown.

Main Presets

On the top-right are the main presets, which save the current state of the modulation parameters, and the FX Banks’ slot selections, bleed amount, and pitch amount. The main preset selection is accessible via “preset 1 - 4” in the bindings. The button to the right of the preset number sets the initial preset number to load on startup.

Important

Switching from one preset to another without saving will lose changes. Switching from one preset to a blank slot allows you to save the previous preset into the blank slot.

Version

Clicking the version number underneath the SousaFX logo opens the About window. The version number will be highlighted if there’s an update available.

Power

The power button next to the left of the Octaver is the audio engine’s on/off button. Turning off the audio engine saves CPU while SousaFX is not in use.

Background Color

The Color Select icon above the power button sets the Main Window’s background color.

Peak Meters

Many FX sport a peak meter that shows how loud the FX’s output has gotten. Clicking the peak meter resets it. Pressing the backslash key resets all the peak meters.
