Note:
Some
control
surfaces
may
use
different
value
ranges
(CM
Labs
MotorMix,
for
example).
Assigning
the
used
value
range
to
the
desired
Min
and
Max
values
ensures
that
key
repeat
also
works
with
such
devices.
This,
however,
also
means
that
you
need
to
take
care
when
manually
changing
the
Min
or
Max
value
for
a
key
command
(in
cases
where
the
Min
and
Max
values
do
not
match
the
button
on
and
button
release
(off )
states,
the
complete
assignment
will
not
work).
Please
consult
your
control
surface
manual
for
further
information
about
the
values
used.
About Modal Dialogs
All
modal
dialogs
(except
file
selector
boxes)
are
shown
on
control
surfaces
that
feature
text
displays.
Modal
dialogs
do
not
allow
you
to
perform
actions
in
any
other
window
when
visible.
As
examples,
authorization
warnings,
edit
confirmations,
or
error
messages.
When
these
windows
“pop
up”
on-screen,
the
upper
LCD
row
(if
applicable)
shows
the
first
part,
or
all,
of
the
alert
text.
If
the
dialog
text
does
not
fit
into
the
LCD’s
upper
row,
it
will
start
scrolling
after
three
seconds.
You
can
scroll
the
dialog
text
manually
with
the
appropriate
control
(see
assignment
tables
in
the
appropriate
chapter).
Once
you
start
doing
so,
automatic
scrolling
is
disabled.
Â
If
there
is
an
Enter
or
OK
button
on
the
control
surface,
it
triggers
the
dialog’s
default
button,
where
applicable.
Â
If
there
is
a
Cancel
or
Exit
button
on
the
control
surface,
it
triggers
the
button
labeled
Cancel
or
Abort,
where
applicable.
Â
All
buttons
(push
buttons,
including
Enter/default
and
Cancel,
as
well
as
checkboxes
and
radio
buttons,
but
not
pop-up
buttons)
are
shown
in
the
display’s
lower
row.
Pressing
a
control
surface
button
below
the
display
triggers
the
appropriate
button/
function
in
the
dialog,
if
applicable.
Following
use
of
the
Enter/Cancel
button
on
the
control
surface
or
with
the
mouse,
the
dialog
will
disappear,
and
all
controls
and
displays
will
return
to
their
previous
state.
When a file select box is onscreen, a
There is a file select dialog on the screen
message appears on the LCD or other display (if applicable to your control surface).
