Common Editing Methods
Dials and Sliders
Dials and sliders can be unidirectional or bidirectional. Unidirectional values, for example, level
values, start at a minimum value and go up to the maximum. Bidirectional controls start from the
middle position and go to the left for negative and to the right for positive values.
Most of the editing methods are the same for dials and sliders.
To adjust a value, click a dial or a slider and drag up and down, or use the mouse wheel.
If you press Alt/Opt when clicking a dial, a small slider appears, allowing you to set the
parameter.
To make ne adjustments, press Shift and move the dial or use the mouse wheel.
To restore the default value for a parameter, press Ctrl/Cmd and click on the control.
Multi Selection and Parameter Controls
To edit multiple pad parameters at the same time, select the pads that you want to edit.
If several pads are selected and they are not set to the exact same values, most of the controls
indicate this by turning red. This is true for dials, on/off buttons, combo boxes, value elds, and
text faders.
NOTE
More complex controls, such as the envelope editors, only show the values of the focused pad.
Adjusting Value Ranges
You can adjust the value range of a parameter using the corona of the encoder. The values for
the pads are distributed within the new range, keeping their relative distances.
To compress or expand the value range, drag the corona.
To adjust the upper limit of the range, hold down Ctrl/Cmd and drag the corona.
To adjust the lower limit of the range, hold down Alt/Opt and drag the corona.
Buttons
Groove Agent contains two different types of buttons: On/Off buttons and push buttons.
On/Off Buttons
These buttons have two states: on and off. If you move the mouse over an On/Off button, it
changes its appearance to show that you can click it.
Push Buttons
Push buttons trigger an action and then go back to their inactive state. These buttons open
menus or le dialogs.
