3.5. Customizing the Faders
The Mode menu lets you choose between the 2 modes available for each fader. Each mode
contains a unique set of parameters:
3.5.1. Fader Off
Disables the fader. This can be used to prevent accidentally moving the fader when it is not
required in your personal User Map.
3.5.2. Fader Control
This mode is the standard mode for the fader, and lets you customize how each fader
responds when used.
• Name: Lets you enter your personal name for the fader which will display on
the LCD screen when the fader is used. This can be up to a maximum of 12
characters long.
• Option: This lets you set the fader’s function between a traditional Fader, and a
Drawbar for use with virtual organ instruments.
• Channel: Select the MIDI channel output for the selected fader, between 1 to 16.
This can also be set to “user”, which will make the fader output to the default
MIDI channel selected in the Device Settings.
• CC Number: Selects the MIDI command you would like to assign to the fader.
Standard MIDI assignments are named within the drop-down menu to help you
navigate the choices.
• Min Value & Max Value: These parameters let you set the minimum and
maximum values the fader can move between.
