Controls Mode

This setting determines how Powered Plug-In parameter knobs respond to ad-

justment. Three control modes are offered: Circular, Relative Circular, and Lin-

ear.

Note: To increase resolution when in adjusting rotary controls in circular and

relative circular modes, increase the radius of the mouse relative to the knob

while dragging (i.e. move the mouse farther away from the knob while drag-

ging in a circular motion).

Circular (jump)

In Circular mode, the software knobs behave similar to physical knobs. Val-

ues are changed by clicking on the knob then rotating in a circular direction.

When the edge of the knob is clicked, the parameter value jumps to the

mouse position.

Relative Circular (grab)

Relative Circular mode operates similar to Circular mode, but the knob value

does not jump to the mouse position when clicked. Instead, the knob value is

modified relative to its original value.

In this mode you can click anywhere on the knob to make an adjustment orig-

inating at the original value. You don’t have to click on the current knob po-

sition.

Linear (slider)

In Linear mode, the knob is adjusted by dragging horizontally or vertically in-

stead of by rotating. This behavior is similar to moving a slider.

Use Host Mode

When Use Host Mode is checked, the control mode set within the host appli-

cation preferences is used if this feature is supported by the host. This setting

forces the host to override the control mode set in the UAD user interface set-

tings.
