Controls the project display paramaters. The settings filter at the top (defaulting to Essential Settings) can be customized using the 
Display Panel Menu, or you can simply type keywords in that field to quickly find settings.
Amplitude: Set the minimum and maximum amplitude shown in the spectral display.
Brightness Curve: Set the brightness curve (gamma) of the spectral display.
Selection Opacity: Set the opacity of selections. It has no effect on the selection itself.
Selection Time Range: Set the time range of the selection numerically.
Selection Frequency Range: Set the frequency range of the selection numerically.
FFT Window: Set the window type used for the FFT analysis: Kaiser-15, Blackman-Harris (default), Blackman, Hann, Hamming, Bartlett or Rectangle. The list goes from the highest to the lowest dynamic range. Windows at the top of the list keep quiet content clearly visible next to loud frequencies, but show slightly wider frequency peaks. Windows at the bottom of the list show narrower peaks, but loud frequencies spread over the quieter content around them.
FFT Size: Set the size of the FFT analysis. The size has an impact on the time and frequency accuracy. The larger the size, the sharper the frequency but the blurrier the time. The smaller the size, the sharper the time but the blurrier the frequency. It’s like defining the focus point in photography. See The Importance of FFT Size.
Resolution: Set how many overlapping FFT frames are calculated, from x1 to x4 (default x2). Higher values calculate more sub-pixels in time, and x4 also in frequency. The display gets smoother and more detailed, but not necessarily more accurate: time and frequency accuracy are set by the FFT Size.
Refinement: Sharpen the spectral display, from 0% (default) to 100%, so you can see more clearly the exact frequencies and timings. Refinement only affects the display.

Increasing resolution and refinement requires more computing power. |
Wave Range: Sets the waveform display amplitude range numerically.
Time Range: Sets the time range of the display numerically.
Frequency Range: Sets the spectral display frequency range numerically.
3D Range: Sets the spectral display 3D displacement.
