Knob Mouse Control
Determines how the knob illustrated at right responds to
your mouse control.
Circular
When this is selected, you can jump to a specific value by clicking at a point within the Knob editing
area. You can edit the value also by dragging the mouse in a circular direction—in much the same way
as turning an actual knob.
Relative Circular
When this is selected, you can edit the value by dragging the mouse in a circular direction—in much the
same way as turning an actual knob.
Linear
When this is selected, you can edit the value by dragging any point in the knob editing area (the mouse
pointer disappears) and moving it vertically or horizontally—in much the same way as operating a slider.
8
Slider Mouse Control
Determines how the Slider illustrated at right responds to
your mouse control.
Jump
When this is selected, clicking any location in the slider jumps the slider pointer to that location.
Touch
When this is selected, you can edit the value by dragging and moving the slider pointer horizontally—in
much the same way as operating an actual slider. Clicking at any location in the slider (other than the
orange pointers) does not affect the slider.
Ramp
When this is selected, clicking at any location in the slider (other than the orange pointers) moves the
nearest pointer to that location. Dragging any point in the slider moves the slider pointer accordingly.
Relative
When this is selected, you can edit the value by dragging any point (the mouse pointer disappears) and
moving it horizontally.
9
Keyboard Velocity
Determines the Velocity value generated when clicking any note on the virtual keyboard at the bottom of
the Editor window. When “Fix” is turned on, clicking any key generates the same velocity value which
can be specified in the box at right of “Fix.” When “Free” is turned on, the generated Velocity value
differs depending on the click location. The lower on the key graphic you click, the higher the Velocity.
