5 Getting Started
The Parameter map is the chart style diagram in the lower portion of the Bit 100 interface. This is
fully interactive – click on the map right at the parameter you wish to edit. In the case of switches,
click once for on & once for off. For switches with more than two settings, click repeatedly to flick
through the settings. For continuous parameters, click and hold at the relevant parameter; then
drag the mouse left or right to change the setting. Current setting is indicated by a subtle green tint
inside the hotspot itself.
All switches provide a visual indicator as to their current setting.
You will get a readout of continuous controllers’ current setting when you begin to edit them. This
readout is given by the ‘Value Display’ in the master section, as shown below:
The advantage of this method is that it significantly reduces ‘clutter’ within the interface. (The
settings of almost all continuous parameters can generally be deduced by simply listening to the
sound.)
If you are attempting to adjust a parameter and its relevant data fails to show up in the ‘Value
display’, then that parameter is already at its maximum or minimum setting and thus cannot be
adjusted further in that particular direction.
Parameters with a white triangle in the corner are continuous and parameters inside a white box
control velocity sensitivity. Parameters with neither a box or triangle are switches.
