Soundtoys EchoBoy - Manual (Page 13)

Since you would probably not be reading this unless you own a Pro Tools system we kind of
take it for granted that you have at LEAST a basic working knowledge of your computer and of
Pro Tools. If you don’t, we strongly suggest you make yourself a strong cup of coffee (or two),
get a comfortable chair and familiarize yourself with the ins and outs of your Pro Tools system
before delving too much further into EchoBoy. Digidesign is really nice and provides lots of
manuals for your reading pleasure!
Knobs
You can use a mouse to control all of the knobs in EchoBoy and they all work in the same way:
To turn a knob up, (to the right, clockwise etc), click on the knob with your mouse and drag the
cursor to the right or slide the cursor up (towards the ceiling). To turn a knob down, (to the left,
counter-clockwise), click on the knob with the mouse and drag the cursor to the left or down
(towards the floor). "Mousing" around in a circle doesn’t really work; you’ll just get frustrated
and or dizzy, neither of which is a lot of fun.
Jumping to a Value using Text Markings
Some knobs have text markings showing minimum, maximum, or other values.
Clicking on one of these text markings will automatically move the knob directly to that value.
Returning a Knob to its Default Value
To return to the knobs "default value", simply hold down the option key and click on the knob.
This will automatically move the knob back to its default value.
Viewing a Knob’s Exact Value
To view the exact numerical value of a knob simply hold down the control key and click on the
knob. To see the knob’s title, hold down control and click on the knob a second time.
