Delay pop-up menu: Causes all MIDI events to be sent early or late, allowing you to compensate
for any differences in reaction time between your various MIDI devices. Use the Delay
parameter (in the Track inspector) to create rhythmic delay effects, as this allows longer
delay times.

No Transpose checkbox: If selected, all regions on any tracks played by this instrument object
are protected from transposition. In other words, the Transpose Region parameter is ignored.
This is very useful for instruments assigned to drum or other samples—mapped across the
keyboard on a single MIDI channel—as transposition will trigger different sounds (rather than
pitches) in these instruments.

No Reset checkbox: If selected, no reset messages are sent to the instrument. This can be useful
if controllers are being used for nonmusical purposes, such as when using the instrument
object for Mixer automation tasks. The Logic Pro > Preferences > MIDI > Reset Messages
settings determine which reset messages are sent. These messages are not sent to No
Reset instruments.

Style pop-up menu: Can be set to any of the available staff styles. Whenever a region is created
on one of the instrument’s tracks, it’s assigned the staff style displayed here. If the Auto style
is chosen (the default), Logic Pro picks an appropriate style based on the pitch range of the
notes in the region. For more information on staff styles, see

Staff styles overview
