User Interface / Controls

On Mac the interface supports both traditional and Retina displays automatically. You have
the possibility to change the User Interface size with the menu on the very top left. Available
resolutions are M=100%, L=150% on Mac and PC and additionally XL=200% on PC. The
selected size is stored permanently and used whenever you open up a new instance of
Alpha.

The controls (dials) on the user interface are operated in a linear manner, so move your
mouse up/down to modify a control.

Holding down the ALT key while clicking on a control changes the selected control's value a
minimum step upwards (when clicking in the upper half of the control) or a minimum step
downwards (when clicking in the lower half of the control).

Holding down the CTRL key (Windows) or COMMAND key (Mac) while clicking on a control
sets the control to its default value (e.g. for Volume controls it sets the control's value to 0
dB).

Holding down the SHIFT key while changing a control's value enables finer control values to
be set.

Double clicking one on a Modulation Matrix Depth parameter sets the value to 0.00. Double
clicking in the same parameter a second time resets it to its previous value. This is handy for
quickly disabling (and re-enabling) one or multiple modulations.

All Controls can be controlled using external MIDI messages. To do this you need to use the
ECS (MIDI-Learn) which is described in detail later in this manual.
