    • Bank names - Displays the names of banks available to load.
    • Online content - Opens the online-content browser where you can download new Sawer patches and banks (if available).

MIDI Controls

  • CTRL (Control): Shows the active MIDI control and value.
  • LINK: Link the last touched MIDI parameter (on your controller) to the selected target in Sawer.
  • UNLINK: Unlink the displayed link-relationship.

Voice Controls

  • POLYPHONY: Set 4 to 24 note polyphony. Polyphony sets the maximum number of notes that can sound at one time. With lower polyphony numbers the 'voice stealing' will occur. This can help to keep CPU loads down.
