Functional Settings
Every widget can be programmed to take certain actions when it is
manipulated by the panel user. Widgets can send MIDI messages to a
port, record MIDI events in a track, change the value of variables (called
aliases) that control the operation of the panel, and so on.
These functional settings are determined by setting the parameters of
the widget. Here are the widget parameters that affect the operation of
the panel:
Parameter... What it’s for...
Automate in Track If checked, movements of this widget are stored in
the designated track number. You can specify the
track number or choose an alias whose value is
the track number. See “Using Aliases for Track
and Port Numbers” on page 11-34, for more
information.
Direct to Port If checked, movements of this widget are sent
directly out a MIDI or audio port. You can choose a
MIDI or Audio port explicitly or choose an alias
whose value is the MIDI port number. You can also
indicate audio ports using aliases with negative
values (e.g., -1 for the first audio port, -2 for the
second audio port). See “Using Aliases for Track
and Port Numbers” on page 11-34, for more
information.
Primary Action The type of message or event that is generated by
the widget when it is manipulated. See “Primary
Action” on page 11-22 for more information.
Alias A user-defined symbolic name that is used to store
the widget’s value. Aliases can be used to link
widgets together in many interesting ways. See
“Alias” on page 11-28 for more information.
Min, Max The minimum and maximum allowable values for
the widget.
Initial The initial value for the widget when the panel is
opened.
Spring-Loaded If checked, the widget will return to its initial value
after it is moved with the mouse.
