Interface Controls, Toggle Buttons | Waves MV2 specification

4.3 Interface Controls

Controls can be in one of three states:

•Not Selected where the control is not the target of any user entry

•Selected where the control is the target of mouse control entry only

•Selected and Active where the control is the target for both mouse and keyboard entry

Toggle Buttons

Toggle buttons display the state of a control, and allow switching between two or more states. Single-clickto change the control’s state. Some toggle buttons have a text display which updates with the current setting, and others (bypass, solo, or monitoring toggles) illuminate when the control is active.

Some processors have link buttons between a pair of toggle buttons, allowing click- and-drag adjustment while retaining the offset between the controls.

Value Window Buttons

Value windows display the value of a control and allow click-and-dragadjustment, or direct control via the keyboard.

•Using the mouse, click-and-drag on the value window to adjust. Some value windows support left/right, some up/down (as you hover over a button, arrows will appear to let you know which direction of movement that button supports).

•Using the arrow keys, click once with mouse to select the button, and then use up/down – left/right (depending on the direction supported by that button) to move in the smallest incremental steps across the button’s range (holding down the arrow keys will move faster through the range).

•Using key entry, double click on the button to open the value window, and directly enter the value from your keyboard. If you enter an out of range number, the button stays selected but remains at the current setting (system beeps? If system sounds are on?)

Some processors have link buttons between a pair of value windows, allowing click- and-drag adjustment while retaining the offset between the controls.

Multiple Selection of Controls

One of the most powerful features of the WaveSystem is the ability to select and adjust many controls at the same time. Using the mouse, simply drag-select the desired group of button or graphic controls by clicking and holding at a point outside the controls and forming a rectangle to include the controls you wish to adjust. Alternatively, you can hold
