• “Show info for multiple parameters” checkbox: When selected, the long name information
appears in the display until the most recently edited parameter’s display times out.
This may cause overlapping text. When unselected, the long name display is only shown
for the most recently edited parameter, which can cause screen flicker.
• “Show info when selecting tracks” checkbox: When turned on, Selected appears in the
upper row of the LCD, and the selected track’s name is shown in the lower row, when
you select a track.
• “Show info when editing volume” checkbox: When selected, the word Volume appears
in the upper row of the LCD, and the edited value appears in the lower row, when you
edit a track’s volume.
• “Show value units for” checkboxes: When selected, parameter values are appended by
the appropriate measurement unit (“Hz” or “%,” for example). You can set this option
separately for “Instrument/plug-in parameters” and “Volume and other parameters.” If
you can do without value units, the display is less cluttered.
Note: This parameter only applies while you are editing the relevant values.
Modal Dialog Display
All modal dialogs (except File Open dialogs) appear on the LCD display of control surfaces
that feature text displays. Examples of modal dialogs include authorization warnings, edit
confirmations, or error messages. While a modal dialog is visible, you cannot perform
actions in any other window.
The modal dialog text appears in the upper row of the LCD. If the dialog text does not
fit in the LCD’s upper row, it starts scrolling after three seconds. You can scroll the dialog
text manually with the appropriate control. (See assignment tables in the appropriate
chapter.) Once you start scrolling the text manually, automatic scrolling is disabled.
• If the control surface has an Enter or OK button, pressing it triggers the dialog’s default
button, where applicable.
• If the control surface has a Cancel or Exit button, pressing it triggers the button labeled
Cancel or Abort, where applicable.
• All buttons in the modal dialog (push buttons, including Enter, Default, and Cancel, as
well as checkboxes and radio buttons, but not pop-up menus) appear in the display’s
lower row.
Pressing a control surface button below the display triggers the appropriate function in
the dialog, if applicable. Once you press an Enter or Cancel button on the control surface
or click it onscreen, the dialog disappears, and all controls and displays return to their
previous state.
When a File Open dialog appears onscreen, the “There is a file select dialog on the screen”
message appears on the LCD or other display (if your control surface has one).
