Buttons
Button style faders can only send two possible values: the minimum and maximum
values of their range.
 When on, the maximum value is sent.
 When off, the minimum value is sent.
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 on the surface of a text fader opens the
Text Fader window.
 Clicking on a position in this window will cause the corresponding fader value to be
sent. (This is similar to selecting programs by name in the Multi Instrument window).
 Double-click on a position in the window to type in the desired 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.
Clipboard Functions
The Options menu at the top right of the Text Fader window provides Cut, Copy, and
Paste functions. You can use these facilities 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
Click the Behave as Menu checkbox to make the text fader act like a pop-up menu.
When this box is unchecked, the text fader acts like a scrolling menu.
