SING THE CONTROLLERS
6.3.1 Knobs
Generally DAWs offer several knob control modes.
The default control mode for knobs with the mouse is the circular mode: click on the
knob and turn around it in order to change the value of the controller. The circular mode
gives high precision in the manipulation of controls: The further the mouse goes from the
knob, the higher the precision of the setting.
In linear mode, the knob can be set only by vertically moving the mouse, not by going
around it. Like the sliders, it is possible to obtain a higher precision by right clicking or
[Alt]+click on the knob concerned.
The linear mode can sometimes be simpler to use than the circular mode, although we
can lose in precision (the precision is limited by the number of vertical pixels on the
screen on which the mouse movements are being evaluated). Movement to linear mode
is available in the options of your DAW. In Cubase
tm
, for example, this choice can be
found via the “File/Preferences/Edit/Controls” menu, and is found in the “General” tab of
the window.
6.3.1.1 Potentiometers
As this name indicates, this type of control can be rotated. They can set a continuous
value (frequency of the VCO, balance programs for Lower and Upper keyboard for
example) or a set a parameter for an individual selection (choices of the wave forms of
the oscillators or LFO, for example)
