Names With Numbers
If you name one object in a selected group of objects with a name that ends in a
numeral, the remaining objects will adopt the name, but with sequentially increasing
numbers. As an example: Selecting several objects and naming one of them “Object 1”
will result in the ensuing objects being renamed as “Object 2”, “Object 3”, “Object 4”, and
so on.
Special Functions
This section outlines several behaviors and commands that enhance the use of fader
objects.
Temporarily Grouping Faders
If you (rubber-band, or Shift-click) select several faders, and move one of them, all
selected faders will move proportionately.
As long as all faders remain selected, their relative positions will be retained (even after
one or more of the faders has reached its minimum or maximum position).
 Option-dragging any fader in the group changes all values in a linear fashion (the
absolute value differences are maintained).
 Shift-Option-dragging any fader in the group changes all faders to the same value.
Sending Fader Values
You can use Options > Send All Fader Values (or the corresponding key command) to
make all fader objects send their current values.
Use Options > Send Selected Fader Values (or the corresponding key command) to
make all selected fader objects send their current values.
Use of these commands in conjunction with the Record/Pause mode allows you to
record a snapshot of all current fader positions. This is especially useful for virtual
mixing desks, or synthesizer panels.
The File > Project Settings > MIDI > General > “Send After Loading Project: All fader
values” option automatically sends all fader values after a project is loaded.
Resetting Fader Values
Choose Options > Reset Selected Faders to set all selected fader values to zero, and
transmit this data.
