Knobs and switches

It is easy to control the synthesizer 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 popup, which shows the current value and unit of the parameter.

Some knobs, such as frequency and level settings, consist of an inner knob and an outer ring. The white labels always show the name and values of the inner knob. The dark labels show the name and values of the outer ring.

All knobs support two click-and-drag modes:

• Vertical mode
  Click on the center area of a knob and drag up or down to rotate it. This is particularly useful for quick changes, but you can also shift-click on the knob and drag up and down, which will make very precise adjustments.
  
• 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.

To change the position of a switch, simply drag the switch thumb up or down, or click at the new position.

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. This is particularly useful for knobs such as Master Tune or Osc 2 Detune that have the default position at the center.
• The knobs that exist for both oscillator 1 and 2, or filter 1 and 2, can be linked to each other. To adjust both parameters, hold down the Alt key (Windows) or Option key (OS X) while dragging one of the knobs. For example, if you adjust Osc 1 Level in this way, the Osc 2 Level parameter is adjusted simultaneously.
• Double-click on a modulation target knob to see the current connections to modulation sources and slots for the specified target.
