Mouse Click/Drag

Single-clicking and dragging the mouse vertically is supported in any text edit field or on the harmony “heads”.

Direct Input

Double clicking in any edit field allows you to type in an exact number. In a text field, you need only type in the first few characters and press enter.

Installation

Installing the Harmony4 plug-in is handled automatically when you double click on the file you received when it was purchased. An iLok key with a valid authorization for Harmony4 must be inserted into your computer before the installation or the procedure will abort. All should go smoothly but if an error occurs, you can contact TC Support from the contact information shown on the next page.

Terminology: “Presets”

Throughout this manual we refer to the loading, saving and use of presets. Of course, this is the way to describe pre-configured sets of parameter values that simplify use of a product. In the Pro Tools world, the term is settings. the functions of “presets” and “settings” are mostly interchangeable except that:

1.Selection of settings and presets is done in different areas of the plug-in; settings are found on the Pro Tools host banner at the top of the plug-in and presets towards the bottom left of the “face” of the plug-in.

2.Saving an edited setting will not be reflected in the presets drop down menu. Because of this, it’s best to choose one way of retrieving and storing parameter sets and stick with it.
