Grip area
You can set a grip area that does not respond
to touch in order to prevent pads from being
pressed unintentionally when using the Ring
Controller separately from the Base Station. You
can set the grip area range as you like.
For details about how to set this, see "Grip area
setting" (
→
P. 103).
Turning the Ring Controller
over
If you turn the ring controller over and place it
so that the side with the power key and the side
with the eect keys are reversed, the functions
assigned to the rings and the display of LEDs
will be reversed top to bottom. Moreover, the
direction of movement will also be switched.
As a result, when the Ring Controller is viewed
from above, movement will always be clockwise
and the top ring will always be on top when you
use it.
