11. Operation

The HaloVerb user interface uses a few different control elements to control all of the processing. These ele-
ments are:

Control Knob

Control Knobs are used to control the value of various continuous parameters of a process. There are three
styles of encoders:

Figure 11.1: Swept Knob

The rings around these encoders sweep from a minimum to maximum value, from left to right. The exception
is the Cutoff controls, which sweep from right to left.

Figure 11.2: Spread Knob

The ring around this encoder starts at 12 o'clock and spreads to both sides equally as the Stereo Width is
increased.

Figure 11.3: Plus/Minus Knob

The rings around these encoders start at 12 o'clock and sweep to either side. These knobs are used for Wet/
Dry and Gain controls.

You can change the value of each knob in a number of different ways. Click and drag the knob to change the
value continuously. Dragging up or to the right will increase the value, while dragging down or to the left will
decrease the value. If you hold down the Mac

⌘ (Command) key or Windows Control key when you click,

you will be able to adjust the value with finer precision. If you hold the Mac

⌥ (Option) key or Windows Alt

key when you click, the knob will reset to its default value. You may also double-click a knob to reset it.

Click on the number (readout) of the knob to display a text entry field that allows you to type in a number
directly. The pop-up will remain active until you dismiss it by clicking somewhere else or hitting the

return,

enter, tab, Mac ⌘. (Command + .), Windows Alt key or ESC keys. Hit return or enter to confirm the value
