Mode Pop-up Menu
Choose the mode used by incoming values—to modify the current parameter value.
The choices are:
 Direct: The incoming value is used as the parameter value.
 Toggle: If the parameters current value is 0, it is set to the incoming value. All other
values set the parameter value to 0. This option is useful for buttons which toggle a
value: Mute, Solo, and so on.
 Scaled: The incoming value is scaled; from its value range to the destination
parameter’s value range. This is useful for faders and rotary encoders.
 Relative: The incoming value is added to the parameter’s current value. Used by
encoders, but also for buttons that increment/decrement by a certain amount (set by
the Multiply parameter).
 Rotate: The incoming value is added to the parameter’s current value—cycling
between maximum and minimum values. This is useful for button presses that cycle
between modes: automation mode, for example.
 X-OR: The value defines a bit mask (a filter, in other words), which is applied to the
parameter’s current value with the exclusive or” Boolean operation. Useful for
enabling/disabling single channel strip types in All view.
For On/Off parameters, Mode is set to Toggle by default. It is set to Scaled for absolute
controls (faders and pots, for example), or to Relative for encoders.
Feedback Pop-up Menu
Choose the display format for the parameters current value (on the control surface
display). The choices are:
 None: No feedback is sent.
 Single Dot/Line: LED rings: only one LED; LCDs: a single vertical line.
 Left to Right Bar: A bar from the minimum to the current value.
 Bar from Center: A bar from the center position to the current value.
 Right to Left Bar: A bar from the current value to the maximum.
 Q/Spread: Two equal bars from the center to the current value.
 Ascending Bar: A bar from the bottom to the current value.
 Descending Bar: A bar from the top to the current value.
 Text Only: LED rings: no feedback; LCDs: no feedback as a graphic element.
 Automatic: Dependent on the currently assigned parameter, the most suitable
feedback mode is used: Plug-in and Instrument parameters carry this information,
Pan uses Single Dot/Line, all other parameters use Left to Right Bar.
Note: Feedback only works for supported control surfaces, and not all settings are
available for all controls.
