The current value of the parameter you are adjusting with the V-Pot is displayed on the
main LCD (depending on the Name/Value setting), and is also indicated by the ring of
LEDs encircling the V-Pot. The way that parameter values are displayed on the LED ring
varies depending on the type of parameter being displayed.
Holding down the CMD/ALT button sets the V-Pots to high-resolution (fine) mode, for
parameters where this mode applies.
Holding down the OPTION button and turning the V-Pot switches between the minimum,
default, and maximum values for the parameter.
