EQ

EQ mode lights from the center LED and stretches either to the left or right depending on the LED

ring’s display value. When the LED ring’s display value reaches 0, the LED’s on the left side will all be

lit. When the LED ring’s display value reaches 127, the LED’s on the right side will all be lit. This mode

has 13 states, so the visual resolution of each state is about 10 MIDI Values. This mode is good for

parameters that are centered around MIDI value 63-64, such as EQ and pan.

By default, the LED rings are in EQ mode.

Spread

Spread mode lights the rings from the center LED out to both edges. This Mode has 8 states, so the

visual resolution of each state is about 15 MIDI Values. This display mode is especially effective for

resonance (width) controls of parametric EQ’s.

Relative

Relative Mode is used only for relative encoder local control, and cannot be specially assigned.

It has five states; still, incrementing, incrementing (alternate), decrementing, and decrementing

(alternate).

Dual Display

LED rings are capable of responding to incoming MIDI messages, and being controlled by encoder

movements at the same time. You may, for example, have your software stream the current track’s

output level on CC79 (the top-left LED Ring). You may also have that encoder at CC57 controlling the

fader volume for the track. In this example, when you turn the encoder, the LED ring will temporarily

allow the encoder value to display on the LED ring. When you finish turning, the TWEAKER will

release the control of the LED ring back to the MIDI stream of the current track’s level.
