MCL / System Settings

System Settings

The System menu contains MCL-wide display and configuration-scope options.

Open it from:

CONFIG > SYSTEM
Entry Values Function
DISPLAY INT, INT+EXT Enables the internal display only, or internal plus external display mirroring.
PROJ CFG OFF, ON Chooses whether supported configuration stored in the project is applied when that project loads.
GRID ENCOD --, PERF Reassigns the Grid Page encoders to performance-controller behavior when enabled.

Display

DISPLAY controls whether MCL mirrors the display to an external display endpoint where available.

Use INT for normal hardware use. Use INT+EXT only for an external display mirror, because mirroring can reduce GUI performance on constrained hardware.

Project Configuration

PROJ CFG controls how project-stored configuration is applied.

Value Behavior
OFF Keep the current global system/device configuration when loading a project. The project's Machinedrum SAMPLEBANK link is still restored.
ON Apply supported configuration stored in the project when it loads.

Project configuration includes device and MIDI-related settings that affect how the grid maps to connected instruments. Use ON when different projects require different device layouts.

After a major firmware upgrade, stored configuration may be reset to defaults on first boot. Re-check device layout, MIDI ports, sync, project-configuration mode and any project samplebank link before continuing work.

Grid Encoder Mode

GRID ENCOD changes the Grid Page encoder behavior.

Value Behavior
-- Encoders keep their normal grid-navigation behavior.
PERF Encoders act as performance controllers from the Grid Page.
