Control Buttons
This section allows you to configure which optional control buttons will appear alongside the
direct selects grid. The checkboxes on the left toggle whether a button appears in the grid.
The buttons that appear on the right allow you to use that function directly from the
configuration menu without having to add the button alongside the direct selects grid.
•
Control Button Position - allows you to set the control buttons to display on the left or
right side of the banks.
•
Use Record - displays the {Record} button, which posts Record to the command line.
•
Use Select - displays the {Select} button, which will display the selected direct select
type. Pressing it will allow you to select a different direct select type.
•
Use Flexi - displays the {Flexi} button. See Using Flexi Mode (below)
•
Use Expand - displays the {Expand} button, which will temporarily cover all other banks
with the expanded target.
•
Use Arrows - displays the page up and down arrows.
•
Use Millennium Buttons - displays the century and millennium buttons. These buttons
allow you to jump to pages in the hundreds and thousands.
•
Use Jump To... - displays the {Jump To} button, allowing you to jump to specific target
numbers.
•
Page - allows you to jump to a specific page of direct selects.
Other
•
Increment - all recorded targets will display in numerical order, including those
containing decimals. Increment sets the target granularity of the grid, allowing blank
decimal targets to be shown between whole-number targets.
•
Icon Position - configures the location of the icon on the direct select tile. Centered will
apply the icon to the entire tile. See Icons (on page119) for more information about
assigning icons.
•
Icon Opacity - configures the opacity of the icon from 0-100. 75 is the default. Lower
opacities may allow the direct select label to be more visible in front of the icon.
•
Skip Empty Flexi Space - removes the empty space between a range of nonsequential
target buttons when in flexi mode.
•
Use Color Swatch - displays a triangular color swatch in the lower left corner of a direct
select. Color swatches are available for color palettes, macros, and snapshots only.
•
Maximize Button Size - sets the size of the direct select buttons to fill the available
space.
•
{Reset to Default} - will restore the settings to the default state. If no default state has
been set, the Eos default settings will be used.
•
{Set Current as Default} - allows you to set the current settings to be used as a default
state when opening additional direct select tabs.
•
{Reset to Eos Default} - restores the settings to Eos defaults.
•
{Reset Current Bank} - restores the settings of the currently-selected bank only.
Using Flexi Mode
Direct selects can be placed into a flexi mode. {Use Flexi} needs to be enabled in the direct
selects configuration menu. Once enabled, the {Flexi} button will display alongside the direct
selects grid. This mode removes most of the empty buttons from the grid, but leaves a single
blank tile between ranges. {Skip Empty Flexi Space} will remove this blank tile.
When in flexi mode, the {Flexi} button will be outlined in gold.
