Control Surface Setup

Mode

Defines the way the incoming value modifies the current parameter value. You can
choose between the following parameters:
Â

Direct—The incoming value is the new parameter value.

Â

Toggle—If the parameter’s current value is 0, it is set to the incoming value.
Otherwise it is set to 0. This option is useful for buttons which toggle a value: Mute,
Solo, and so on.

Â

Scale—The incoming value is scaled from its value range to the destination
parameter’s value range. Most useful for faders and rotary pots.

Â

Relative—The incoming value is added to the parameter’s current value. Used by
encoders, but also for buttons that increment/decrement by a certain amount (set by
the Multiply parameter).

Â

Rotate—The incoming value is added to the parameter’s current value, cycling
between maximum and minimum values. This is useful for button presses that cycle
between modes: automation mode, for example.

Â

X-OR—The value defines a bit mask which is applied to the parameter’s current value
with the “exclusive or” Boolean operation. Useful for enabling/disabling single Object
types in Global View.

Feedback

Defines the way the parameter’s current value is displayed on the control surface. You
can choose between the following options:
Â

None—No feedback is sent.

Â

Single Dot/Line—LED rings: only one LED; LCDs: a single vertical line.

Â

Left to Right Bar—A bar from the minimum to the current value.

Â

Right to Left Bar—A bar from the current value to the maximum.

Â

Q/Spread—A bar from the center to the current value.

Â

Ascending Bar LCDs—A bar from the bottom to the current value.

Â

Descending Bar LCDs—A bar from the top to the current value.

Â

Text Only—LED rings: no feedback; LCDs: no feedback as a graphic element.

Â

Automatic—Dependent on the currently assigned parameter, the most suitable
feedback mode is used: Plug-in and Instrument parameters carry this information,
Pan uses Single Dot/Line, all other parameters use Left to Right Bar.

Note: Feedback only works for supported control surfaces, and not all settings are
available for all controls.

Text Feedback Checkbox

If enabled, a textual representation of the current value is sent to the control surface’s
display. The plug-in determines the display position and number of characters that are
used.
