a representation of the function it controls).
Status panel color codes
On the status panel, different color codes are used for the bar and numerical value representing the
fader:
Cyan - function on another page.
Green - fader is active
Yellow - fader is inactive (needs to reach or cross value to activate)
Orange - Bump button held
Red - Fingers deactivated (see 'square' button above).
Fine-tuning fader values
To avoid any flicker caused by the analogue to digital conversion of the fader values, Fingers
implements a minimum change threshold value that must be exceeded before the change is accepted
- any changes below that threshold is ignored, except when the new value is 0 or full (255) - these two
values are always accepted. By default the threshold value is set to 4 (see Fingers setup) which
means that a change in value must be 4 or greater to register. Most functions do not really require
very fine adjustments but to fine-tune the value of a fader use the function fader relative assigned to
one of the jog-wheels (see below) to adjust the logical fader value and hence the assigned function
value.
Selecting faders for relative adjustment without actually the values
In rare circumstances it may be desirable not to actually move a fader in order to activate it or select it
for relative adjustment by jog-wheel - since a moving the fader may have an undesired effect - e.g. the
need to adjust a fader value from 0 to exactly 1. In this case, hold down the square button for more
than 0.5 seconds to deactivate fingers commands, then move the fader to select it and finally release
the square button.
Forcing fader activation from a specific 'direction'
The above mentioned method is also useful to force an activation from a specific direction - for
example when moving multiple faders activating at different values such as 'catching' a number of
statics levels from' below' in one fluid motion. In this case the physical value of all relevant faders
needs to be brought below the logical value, which normally may cause the fader to activate, but
without actually activating the fader. To avoid activating any faders, press and hold the square button
for more than 0.5 seconds. Then, while holding the square button, pull all faders below their logical
values - and then finally release the square button.
Configuring fader functions
Fader functions are configured as single functions that is assigned to all 12 faders at once (fader page
functions) - each fader then controls an individual sub-function (e.g. when using faders to control static
levels each fader controls the level of a single static entry. The fader page function also determines
the function of the bump button. By default Fingers can hold a separate function for each of the 4
pages (buttons A-D). This capacity may be expanded by configuring Fingers to include shift state
selection for faders a well. Note that shift state and page selection settings for faders are identical to
the settings for cue slot buttons.
