| MIDI - Legato Mode: Between Selected Notes Only |
|
Activates/Deactivates. Comment: I expected this command to connect to the Inspector>Editor>Length>Between Selected, but it is not connected. As this is a preference, it sort of makes sense, yet the same function mentioned above does not have a key command? I am not sure about how those two same(?) functions interact when one is on and the other is off.

| MIDI - Select Controllers in Note Range: Use Extended Note Context |
|
Activates/Deactivates. When deactivated: If you have a CC extend beyond an event’s (note’s) duration and you select the event, only the CC nodes exactly matching the note’s duration will be selected. When activated, if the CC continues beyond the duration of the note, this extra data will be selected when you select the note. |

| MIDI - Split MIDI Controllers |
|
Activates/Deactivates. When activated: If you split a MIDI part in the project window, this preference will make it so that the new part gets a CC data node at its start (if the value was different than 0). When deactivated: The controller will not get a data node at the start. (and playback oddities may ensue if you throw away the first part that had the CC value leading into the the second parts value.) Comment: I cannot imagine why someone would want to keep this preference deactivated. (?)

| MIDI - Split MIDI Events |
|
Activates/Deactivates. Similar as above. When activated, splitting a MIDI part in the project window at the middle of an event, will make it so the event is also split. When deactivated, splitting a MIDI part at the middle of an event, will make it so the event is “truncated” at the position of the split, and no new event is created in the part on the right. |

| Plug-ins - Create MIDI Track when Loading VSTi |
|
Cycles between “Always ask to”, “Always”, “Do not”. Determines if a MIDI track will be created when you load a VSTi from the F11 menu. Comment: “Always ask” does not seem to work over here. Maybe a long time ago I was asked and pressed “Do not show again”? Who knows.

| Plug-ins - Open Effect Editor after Loading It |
|
Activates/Deactivates. When activated, loading a plug-in will immediately bring up its window (GUI). Comment: If you are planning on creating 10 instances of “Mystic” for example, it’s a good idea to deactivate this preference before the batch creation. Even if you can close all plug-in windows with one key after the fact, it takes some time to actually load all those windows, so it’s better if you don’t let them load from the get-go, using this preference.

| Plug-ins - Suspend VST 3 plug-in processing when no audio signals are received |
|
Activates/Deactivates. The troublesome preference. Steinberg advised to keep this off until further notice (at the time of 10.5.20). When activated, VST 3 plug-ins suspend their processing (thus improving performance and reducing cpu load) when no audio is passing through. |

| Plug-ins - Synchronize Plug-in Program Selection to Track Selection |
|
Activates/Deactivates. When Activated: If you have a multitimbral instrument like Halion SE and you are feeding it from many midi tracks, navigating the project window, going from MIDI track 1 to MIDI track 2 will move the respective sound slots in the plug-in’s window. |

| Plug-ins - Warn before Removing Modified Effects |
|
Activates/Deactivates. Well explained. When activated, if you try to unload (throw away) a plug-in that you have previously tweaked, you will be warned and asked to confirm the removal of the plug-in. When deactivated, the plug-in will be removed swiftly without warning. |
