Installing the Module Designer

Before we begin programming, let’s first configure the Module Designer’s settings. To do so, click on the Edit menu and select Preferences.

Audio Settings

In the Audio Settings section, you’ll select your Input and Output devices, set your sample rate and buffer size/latency, and choose any MIDI devices that you want to use when testing a module.

Code Editor

The Code Editor preferences allow you to customize your font and spacing choices.

Miscellaneous

The Miscellaneous settings allow you to choose a JDK location and modify some additional settings. Note that it is not necessary to choose a JDK location unless you wish to use a JDK other than the default JDK installed on your system.
