Using Little Spacey

Using the controls

Knobs

Basic use of the knobs is to click on them and drag the mouse up and down.
However you can obtain different results by holding keys as follows:

Shift : Values change more slowly as you move the mouse.

Command

1

(Mac OS X)/Alt (Windows) : The knob assumes its default po-

sition.

Option

2

(Mac OS X)/Control (Windows): The knob assumes integer values only.

Sliders

Sliders behave similarly.

Shift : Values change more slowly as you move the mouse.

Command : The slider assumes its default position.

Dropdown menus

Clicking on the menu displays the list of options. Move the mouse
over the desired option and release the mouse to select it.

Value edit boxes

These boxes (below each knob and slider) let you enter parameter values directly. Clicking
on the value highlights it in green - you can then type the desired value using the key-
board. Press enter to finish and accept the new value.

While you’re typing the value, the box goes red to indicate that the value you see has not
yet been accepted.

Name/value display

As you move the mouse around the interface, the name and cur-
rent value of the control currently under the mouse is displayed
in the top right of the window. This area also provides tool-tips
for buttons.

1

The ‘Command’ key is also known as the ‘Apple’ key - the one next to the spacebar.

2

The ‘Option’ (alt) key is the one between the Control (ctrl) key and the Command (cmd) key.
