• Shift-Option-dragging any fader in the group changes all faders to the same value.
Sending Fader Values
You can use Options > Send All Fader Values (or use the Send All Current Fader Values
key command) to make all fader objects send their current values.
Use Options > Send Selected Fader Values (or use the corresponding key command,
default assignment: Control-V) to make all selected fader objects send their current values.
Use of these commands in conjunction with the Record/Pause mode allows you to record
a snapshot of all current fader positions. This is especially useful for virtual mixing desks,
or synthesizer panels.
The File > Project Settings > MIDI > General > “Send After Loading Project: All fader
values” option automatically sends all fader values after a project is loaded.
Resetting Fader Values
Choose Options > Reset Selected Faders to set all selected fader values to zero, and
transmit the data.
Alias Objects
You can create an alias of any Environment object, and it will behave exactly like the
original. In the case of faders, the alias has its own value (which can be different from the
value of the original object). This is particularly useful if using text faders, as they consume
a lot of memory. If you need several text faders of the same name, make several aliases
of one original object.
To create an alias of any object
µ
Select the object, then choose New > Alias.
Aliases can be reassigned with meta events. You use a special fader, known as the alias
assigner (which works something like the cable switcher), to accomplish this.
To create an alias assigner
µ
Choose New > Fader > Specials > Alias Assigner.
