Saturation

A slider, set to 0 by default, which defines the intensity of the theme colors, where 0 is the soft, standard color and 100 is its fiery bright extreme.

Color

MIDI

Display Middle-C As

MIDI notes are mapped on a fixed numerical range: 0 - 127. The MIDI specification defines the note number 60 as middle-C and all other notes are relative. There is a discrepancy that occurs between various models of MIDI devices and software programs to which octave of C is considered middle-C.

This option specifies what octave of C is considered middle-C. The possible mappings are:

Default value: C4.
