The Welcome Screen

When starting energyXT2, you can optionally show the Welcome Screen:

Note: This also serves as the “New project” dialog (File > New… or Ctrl N).

Project templates:

• Default - Based on the user-definable Default project.
• Empty Project - Only contains an empty sequencer
• Drum & Bass - Sequencer with one bass track (using the Synthesizer) and a Drum Track using the factory samples
• MIDI Sequencer - Sequencer with 8 Instrument Tracks pre-routed to the MIDI Input
• Multi-track recorder- Sequencer with 8 Audio Tracks pre-routed to the Audio Input
• Guitar Project - Sequencer with an Audio Track with a Guitar Amp effect inserted, and a Drum Track
• Modular setup - Completely blank project

To start a new project from one of these templates, select one and click OK.

Note: From the Welcome screen, clicking Cancel will start with a blank project like the Modular setup. From the New… dialog, it takes you back to the currently open project.

Other options:

• Demo project - Opens “demosong.xt”¹
• Online Tutorials - A link to http://www.energy-xt.com/tutorials/
• Open recent - A dropdown menu containing a list of recently opened projects
• Show at Startup - Does what it says. You can also change this option in the Global Setup.

Footnotes

1. The Demo project button only shows up if there is a “demosong.xt” in a “Projects” subfolder of the energyXT2 folder.
