Command Line Options

Command Description
[filename] Name of the workspace to load at startup. If the name contains spaces, it must be quoted like "C:\2002 MotionKit\Workspaces".
-autoplay The engine is turned ON automatically at startup.
-fullscreen Usine will be displayed in fullscreen mode. This overrides the full-screen option defined in the setup-panel-tab-global.
-ib Works only if a workspace-name is defined and loaded — it will appear in IB mode. See ib-panel.
-dontsavesetup The setup is not saved when Usine quits.
-showgrid The grid is automatically displayed when a workspace is loaded, if the grid is not empty.
-fullasio[DRIVER number] (Windows only) Forces the audio driver to ASIO mode with all available inputs/outputs activated. Default driver index is 0 (first available). Examples:
-fullasio = -fullasio0 (first driver)
-fullasio1 = second driver
-fullasio2 = third driver, etc.
-channels[Number of channels] (Windows only) When -fullasio is active, this limits the number of opened ASIO channels.
-channels = all channels
-channels8 = only 8 channels
-channels32 = only 32 channels.
If omitted, all inputs/outputs of the sound card are opened.
