Adjusting Console Controls
Console uses typical software control techniques to adjust parameters.
2-state switches: Click to toggle the state.
Knobs: Click+drag to adjust, or use the Controls Shortcuts. Console’s rotary controls (and
UAD plug-in knobs) can respond to Linear, Circular, or Relative Circular adjustments
modes. The CONTROL MODES preference is set in DISPLAY panel within the Console
Settings window.
Faders: Click+drag to adjust, or use the Controls Shortcuts.
Drop Menus: Click to view the drop menu contents, then click an item in the drop menu
to select the item.
UAD Powered Plug-Ins: Most UAD plug-in controls use the same methods as above. How-
ever, some plug-in parameters may have custom controls that are unfamiliar or not obvi-
ous. All custom controls are detailed for individual plug-ins in the UAD Plug-Ins Manual.
Controls Shortcuts
In addition to the keyboard shortcuts below, several other shortcuts are available to sim-
plify Console control adjustments:
Fine Control: Continuous controls (knobs and faders) can be adjusted with increased
resolution by depressing the SHIFT while adjusting these controls.
Scroll Wheel: Continuous controls (knobs and faders) can be adjusted by using the com-
puter input device’s scroll function (e.g., mouse scroll wheel). Hover the cursor over the
control and adjust the scroll wheel to modify the parameter value.
Adjust All: If the Option key is held down while modifying any control, the same control
on all inputs (or aux returns) will be simultaneously adjusted. The relative difference is
maintained between the same controls until any control reaches its minimum or maxi-
mum value.
Return To Default: If the Command key is held when a control is clicked, the control will
return to its default value. Command+Option+Click will return all controls of the same
type to their default value.
Mute/Solo All Toggle: Option-click a Mute or Solo switch to toggle the state on all chan-
nels.
Drop Menus: Menus continue to display after a single click. The mouse button does not
need to be held down to view the menu.
