Fader Styles
The fader’s style is shown in the line under the icon. It can be changed by clicking on
the current style name, and selecting the new style from the pop-up menu.
Remember that a fader’s style does not usually affect its function—you can select the
most convenient style for the desired use of the Object.
The following section provides notes on some of the fader styles:
Vertical/Mute
This is exactly like the Vertical 4 fader style, with an added mute switch. When you
press the mute switch, the fader sends an event matching its Out definition with a
value of 0. The fader’s movements are not sent while the mute switch is on (down). The
current fader value is sent when you turn the mute switch off (up).
Numerical
You can double-click the numerical field of a numerical fader, and type in a new value.
If you click and drag slowly on the numerical field, fader values will change in single
step increments.
Buttons
Button style faders send only two possible values, corresponding to the minimum and
maximum values of their range. When on (hollow or Xed in the illustration), the
maximum value is sent. When off (filled or not Xed in the illustration) the minimum
value is sent. If the minimum and maximum range parameters are set to the same
value, the button sends this value each time it is clicked.
