Graphics

You can adjust the graphics settings of the application to optimize performance or enhance visual quality. Find them in the settings tab, under Graphics.

Window mode

Desktop only

The window mode sets how the performance fills the screen.

  • Windowed – The app displays in a window. (See Resolution below for more information on windowed mode.)
  • Borderless fullscreen – The performance covers the entire screen in a borderless window, without changing the display mode. This makes it quicker to switch to other windows.
  • Fullscreen – The performance takes over the entire screen.

Note

Borderless fullscreen is only available on Windows. On macOS and Linux, it behaves the same as Fullscreen.

Resolution

Desktop only

The resolution only applies when the window mode is Windowed. In the other window modes, the resolution matches your monitor.

There are two options for setting the resolution of the performance window:

  • Default – The app will take up most of the screen, but will leave a small border around the edges.
  • Custom – You can specify the exact width and height of the performance window in pixels.

Shadows

Shadows can enhance the visual quality of the performance, but they can also impact performance. You can choose to enable or disable shadows based on your preference and system capabilities, and set their quality.

  • None (fake) – No shadows are rendered. Instead, a simple darkening effect is applied to the ground beneath objects to simulate the presence of shadows (how it appears in MIDIJam).
  • Low, Medium & High – Real-time shadows are rendered with varying levels of detail and quality. Higher settings provide more realistic shadows but may reduce performance on lower-end systems.

Android

On Android devices, you can only choose to enable or disable shadows.

Antialiasing

Desktop only

Antialiasing smooths out the jagged edges of objects, but it can also impact performance. You can choose to enable or disable antialiasing based on your preference and system capabilities.

  • None – No antialiasing is applied. This may result in jagged edges on objects, especially at lower resolutions.
  • Low, Medium & High – Different levels of antialiasing are applied to smooth out the edges of objects. Higher settings provide better quality but may reduce performance on lower-end systems.

Note

This setting isn't available on macOS.

Field of view

You can set the camera's default field of view in the settings tab, under Camera. The field of view is how zoomed in the camera is. It is measured in degrees: A smaller value means the camera will be zoomed in. A larger value means the camera will be zoomed out.
