1 General
Tuning applies to UVI Workstation in addition to any other instrument-specific
tuning adjustments that have been made (Global). If you have multiple UVI
Workstation plug-ins instantiated in your host application, the global tune
setting will affect each plug-in separately.

entire sample set into RAM, the samples may be read (streamed) from the hard
disk as the program is being played. To optimize your experience, please select
the appropriate hard drive type and cache size for your system.
