•
Double-click a position in the window to enter new text. By default, when you create a text
style fader, the text positions contain numerical values. You can use this feature to create
numerical style faders with colored backgrounds.
You can modify the following parameters in the Text Fader window:
•
Options pop-up menu: Provides Cut, Copy, and Paste functions. You can use these operations
to transfer the entire list of names to a text editor, for more convenient editing.
•
Empty lines (and lines that only contain spaces) are ignored.
•
If you want to insert blank positions in the list, use Option–Space bar.
•
Behave as Menu checkbox: Makes the text fader act like a pop-up menu. When unselected,
the text fader acts like a scrolling menu.
•
Text Fader Range: Determines the number of names that can be entered into a text style
fader object. If you set a text style fader’s range to 0, 1 you can only enter two values.
You should always set the minimum necessary range for a text fader, as this saves memory.
In any case, remember that the first name corresponds to the lowest value in the range (not
necessarily 0), and the last name corresponds to the highest value (not necessarily 127).
If you force a text fader to a value outside its range (with MIDI input) it displays “---” for values
below its range and “+++” for values above. The one exception is when the fader’s range is 0, 1;
in this case, all values above 1 display the name for value 1.
