Selecting Built-in Preset
Depending on your application, different presets will be desired. For instance if you are using Ableton Live, all sliders with sweep feedback might be desired such as the configuration for preset 3. Below is a table of all the

To help choose the right preset, first review the table above to determine which interaction type you desire. Below are definitions of the terms used in the table:
Button States
Trigger – Trigger means the LED for the button will only illuminate when a finger is placed on the button. Good for triggering samples.
Toggle – Toggle means the LED will change from blue to red when a finger is pressed and then will change back to blue when pressed again. This is good for functions which turn On and Off.
Absolute Sliders
Absolute sliders exactly follow your fingers position on the surface and feature multiple touches. These are good for controls like volume or effect settings. For instance, all absolute sliders could be mapped towards controls of a digital audio workstation.
Relative Sliders
Relative sliders follow the gestures of your finger but do not send absolute position. These are good for controls that might want to be
Slider Pattern
This controls the feedback of the slider’s LEDs on the control surface. The default pattern is “boost/kill” feedback for EQ and “bottom to top” (or sweep) feedback for FX and volume sliders. When sliders are relative, no feedback is given other than “finger trace” which follows your hand movement while touching the sliders.
