Fader styles
A fader’s style is shown in the line under the icon. It can be changed by selecting the current
style name and choosing a 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 intended use of the object.
Some of the fader styles are described below.
•
Vertical/Mute: This is exactly like the Vertical 4 fader style, with an added Mute button.
When you click the Mute button, the fader sends an event (with a value of 0) that matches the
Output definition.
•
The fader’s movements are not sent while the Mute button is on.
•
The current fader value is sent when you turn the Mute button off.
•
Buttons: Button style faders can only send two possible values: the minimum (off) and
maximum (on) values of their range. If the minimum and maximum range parameters are set
to the same value, the button sends this value each time it is clicked.
•
Text: Text faders function like numerical faders, but can display text for each of the 128 possible
MIDI values (0 to 127). Double-clicking the surface of a text fader opens the Text Fader window.
•
Click a position in this window to send the corresponding fader value. (This is similar to
selecting programs by name in the Multi-Instrument window.)
