Selecting Built-in Preset
To help choose the right preset, first review the table above to determine which interaction type you
desire. Below are definitions of the terms used in the table:
Button States
Trigger – Trigger means the LED for the button will only illuminate when a finger is placed on the
button. Good for triggering samples.
Toggle – Toggle means the LED will change from blue to red when a finger is pressed and then will
change back to blue when pressed again. This is good for functions which turn On and Off.
Absolute Sliders
Absolute sliders exactly follow your fingers position on the surface and feature multiple touches.
These are good for controls like volume or effect settings. For instance, all absolute sliders could be
mapped towards controls of a digital audio workstation.
Relative Sliders
Relative sliders follow the gestures of your finger but do not send absolute position. These are good
for controls that might want to be fine-tuned as opposed to quickly moved from top to bottom quickly.
For instance, a pitch control would be good for relative control. Note: Not all MIDI applications support
relative mode. Please consult the owner’s manual of your software to be sure. Sometimes relative is
referred to “Relative Bin Offset.”
Slider Pattern
This controls the feedback of the slider’s LEDs on the control surface. The default pattern is “boost/kill”
feedback for EQ and “bottom to top” (or sweep) feedback for FX and volume sliders. When sliders are
relative, no feedback is given other than “finger trace” which follows your hand movement while
touching the sliders.

Depending on your application, different presets will be desired. For instance if you are using
Ableton Live, all sliders with sweep feedback might be desired such as the configuration for preset 3.
