32 Chapter 1 Basic Control Surface Setup
 Parameter name checkbox: When turned on, the upper LCD line displays the full
parameter name, rather than an abbreviated form of it, when you edit a parameter,
 Parameter value checkbox: When turned on, the lower LCD line displays the full
parameter value when you edit a parameter. If the “Show value units for
parameter” boxes (see below) are checked, it will be appended by the
measurement unit, where applicable (as examples: “dB,” “Hz,” or “%”).
Note: The following options only have an effect if at least one of the two parameters
described above is active.
 Display Duration slider: Drag to adjust the time that parameter names and values
remain on the LCD display, following selection/adjustments.
 Show info for multiple parameters checkbox: When enabled: the long name info
appears in the display until the most recently edited parameter’s display times out.
This may cause overlapping text. When disabled: 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 turned on, 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 turned on, 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, it triggers the dialog’s default
button, where applicable.
