These settings affect the whole ZynAddSubFX instance.

Warning
Currently some of these parameters are read-only
Sample Rate

The sample rate used by ZynAddSubFX engine.
The bigger - the higher frequencies will be processed, introducing more DSP load in the system It’s best to keep this the same as your soundcard is currently using to avoid needless resampling.

Swap stereo

If you find your L and R channels to be the wrong way around, this option will fix it.

Oscil Size

The size of the SUBsynth oscillator wavetable in samples. The bigger this is, the more high frequencies will be included in the Add synth oscillators. The bigger the wavetable, the more CPU-intensive Add synth becomes, though harmonics will be represented more accurately.

Buffer Size

Size of the internal DSP buffer of ZynAddSubFX in samples. Since the LFOs and Envelopes are updated only once every buffer this has impact on the sound. The smaller the buffer is, the better the time resolution of LFOs and ENVs. It also makes the latency lower. Making the buffer size bigger lowers the CPU usage in exchange for increasing latency and making the LFOs and ENVs update less frequently.

XML compression

ZynAddSubFX uses XML format to store the presets. This determines the level of Gzip (?) compression applied to it before saving to disk, to save storage space. Higher values create smaller files in exchange for more CPU time needed to save and open them. Lower values speed up save/load times but create bigger files.

Virtual Keyboard Layout

This setting affect how Zyn-Fusion interprets input from your computer keyboard to emulate a musical keyboard.

Ignore MIDI Program Change

ZynAddSubFX would normally respond to MIDI Program Change messages and load a patch from a bank. This feature will enable you to prevent that.
