For example, suppose that the X axis of a nubby is assigned to control the filter frequency, the left handle of
the X-axis range slider is positioned about ¼ of the way from the left end of the slider, and the right handle is
positioned about ¾ of the way from the left end, like this:

Now, when you move the nubby all the way from the left edge of the XYZ pad to the right edge, the filter
frequency knob will rotate through about half of its range, from about the 10 o'clock position to about the 2
o'clock position. If the Y axis of the nubby was assigned to the filter resonance, and the range slider handles
were positioned as shown above, the resonance knob would rotate from its center 12 o'clock position up to its
maximum value as you moved the slider vertically from the bottom to the top of the XYZ pad.

4. Motion Controls

The controls in this section determine the various ways the nubbies can move about, and their relationship
with each other. Using the motion controls with the nubbies, you can create fairly sophisticated modulation
sources which can then be used to drive the effect in rhythmic ways.

The CONNECT buttons hook the two nubbies together. If the nubbies are connected, they move as a unit.
Both nubbies still control any parameters assigned to their axes of motion, so you can control up to six

parameters at once by moving just one of the nubbies. The CONNECT button has three different settings
which affect how the nubbies are connected:

With the FREE setting, the nubbies are not connected and operate completely independently.
