The Global Settings page contains all the settings and configurations that relates to the entire device regardless of which Setlist, Scene or Preset is active.
Settings are divided into the following sections:

User Interface
Display Brightness
Controls the backlight level of the touch screen.
Screensaver Settings
Controls the period of no activity on footswitches and display before the Screensaver activates.
UI Mode
This controls selects whether the full set of features should be available in the on-screen user interface, or only a subset of it.
...
Further, advanced message settings, like Delays are also not visible.
Long Press Threshold
This defines how many milliseconds the system should wait, before a footswitch press should be considered a long press.
This is only relevant for presets that have the Long Press feature and message list activate in their settings.
Network
This section controls whether the Wifi radio is turned on or off, the current wireless connection, as well as lists the current IP addresses, both wireless and wired.
Removing a know network can done by tapping the trashcan icon in the list of connected networks.
MIDI Interfaces
MIDI over Network (RTP)
Sending MIDI over the network (WiFi/Ethernet) is possible based on the RTP-MIDI/AppleMIDI protocol.
This works across network connected devices such as Macs, PCs and an increasing number of network enabled devices. MIDI over network is structured into Sessions in which a number of Participants exchange MIDI data.
If “RTP MIDI Session” is turned on, MORTRIX will set up its own Session and allow for other devices to connect to this. It will also start looking for other sessions on the network, which can be connected to, by clicking the “link” button. In RTP-MIDI terms, this means that MORTRIX can both act as a Responder as well as an Initiator.
Each discovered Session has an “Enable Auto-connect” button, which when pressed, will make MORTRIX automatically connect to this session, when it appears on the network.
Participants in the current session is listed below, in the “Participants” section.
MIDI over USB
Whether or not to automatically open MIDI connections to MIDI compliant USB devices when they are connected to the system (USB Host ports).
Connected USB devices and their MIDI connection state can be observed in the Device Browser.
MIDI Through
This table controls how and which MIDI data coming into Mortrix through should be forwarded to other ports.
MIDI Settings

Software
Device Profiles
Update the collection of Device Profiles on your Mortrix. This requires a network connection (Wifi or LAN).
Device profiles can also be imported from a USB drive, but that is intended primarily for developers and beta testers of device profiles.
Software Update
This allows you to update the software on your Mortrix directly from the internet or from a USB drive (not common). Software updates are released with new features, fixes and other improvements from time to time. It is recommended to keep your software updated, but DO NOT update your system the night before an important gig or a big world tour. Not on Mortrix, not on anything else.
Backup
Backup and Restore all Scenes, Presets, Messages and other settings onto/from a FAT32 formatted USB drive.
Submit System Logs
This button will collect system information and logs and submit them to Mortrix servers for analysis. Please get in touch with support@mortrix.io if this might be necessary.
At the bottom of the Software section, you can find the currently installed version of the Software.
