Knobs and switches

It is easy to control Pro-C's parameters with the large round knobs and switches. They will light up when you move the mouse cursor around to indicate that you can adjust them. The moment you move the mouse cursor over a knob, a parameter value display will pop up, which shows the current value and unit of the parameter.

All knobs support two click-and-drag modes:

1. Vertical mode
   Click on the center area of a knob and drag up or down to adjust it. This is particularly useful for quick changes, but you can also hold down the Shift key while dragging to make precise adjustments. In addition, the knob detects when you are dragging slowly and will then increase its resolution so you can easily fine-tune the parameter.
   
2. Rotate mode
   Grab the arrow of the knob and drag it around. By moving the mouse cursor further away from the knob while dragging it, you can make very precise adjustments.

Tips

• To reset a knob to its default position, hold down the Ctrl key (Windows) or Command key (OS X) and click the knob once.
• Some controls are linked to each other so they can be adjusted together by holding down the Alt key (Windows) or Option key (OS X) while dragging one of the knobs. This applies to the Output and Dry Mix knobs and the two Side Chain Level knobs in Expert mode (both the inner knob and the outer rings).
• When running the RTAS plug-in in Pro Tools, the standard Pro Tools shortcuts are used instead of those listed above. These are Alt/Option to reset, Shift to link, and Ctrl/Command to fine-tune.
