■When using the keyboard,use ‹Alt+Enter ›to set the value after typing it.
Theselected control value will be adjusted using the alternative behaviour. See Channel Linking
Preferences (p. 76) for more detail.
Automatic Negative Gain Values
When typing a value in a gain value input box the default behavior for Compass is to assume
the value is negative unless precededby a plus: for example, typing 2in a gain value box will
set the gain to −2 dB. Type+2 to set the gain to +2 dB. This behavior can be changed; see
User Interface Display and Control Options (p. 72) for details.
Setting Full Attenuation Gain Values
Whenusing the keyboard, type -i,-inf, or a value less than -60 to set gain to full attenuation.
Arithmetic in Gain ValueControls
Gain value boxes support addition and subtraction throughthe keyboard:
■Toincrease a value by an amount, precede the value with double-plus: for example, typing
++2 in a gain value box will increasethe value by two decibels.
■Todecrease a value by an amount, precede the value with double-minus: for example,
typing --6 in a delay value box will decreasethe value by six decibels.
The normal behavior of a gain value box is to accept the value as an absolute: typing +2 in a
gain value box sets the value to 2 dB; typing -6 in a gain value box sets the value to −6 dB.
Rapid Fader ValuesChanges with the Mouse
■Clicka numeric value to the right of the fader slider to directly set common integer values.
■Click above or below the fader slider to incrementor decrement the value.
Fine and Coarse Rotary Encoder ValueChanges with the Mouse
■Click the center of an encoder beforedragging to boost value change speed by a factor
of ten. The pointer will display 10x to indicate values will change rapidly.
