Chapter 2 Basic control surface setup 29
•
Display Duration slider: Drag to adjust the time that parameter names and values remain on
the LCD, following selection and adjustments.
•
Show info for multiple parameters checkbox: Turn on to show the long name and information
in the LCD until the most recently edited parameter’s information display times out. This may
cause overlapping text. Turn o to limit the long name display to show only the most recently
edited parameter, which can cause screen icker.
•
Show info when selecting tracks checkbox: Turn on to show “Selected” in the upper row of the
LCD and the selected track name in the lower LCD row when you select a track.
•
Show info when editing volume checkbox: Turn on to show “Volume” in the upper row of the
LCD and the edited value in the lower LCD row when you edit a track’s volume.
•
Show value units for checkboxes: Turn on to show the appropriate measurement unit (Hz or %,
for example) after parameter values. You can set this option separately for Instrument/plug-in
parameters and Volume and other parameters. If you can work without value units, the display
is less cluttered.
Note: This parameter applies only 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
conrmations, or error messages.
Important: You cannot perform actions in any other window while a modal dialog is visible.
The modal dialog text appears in the upper row of the LCD. If the dialog text does not t in
the LCD’s upper row, it scrolls after three seconds. You can scroll the dialog text manually with
an appropriate control for your device. Once you start scrolling the text manually, automatic
scrolling is disabled.
•
If your control surface has an Enter or OK button, pressing it triggers the dialog’s default
button, where applicable.
•
If your control surface has a Cancel or an 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 a 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 le select dialog on the screen”
message appears on the LCD.
