8.7.5.1
Overview
The Origin includes 8 rotary encoders, located in each side of the main screen, which can be
assigned to control a wide variety of parameters within a Program. This is a very powerful feature
of the Origin that allows you to modify elements deep within the synthesis architecture for real
time control.

So, aside from all of the dedicated controls for the Analog Section, the step sequencer, the joystick
as well as FX and audio output levels, the encoders allow you to access many other useful features
from the front panel.
8.7.5.2
Assigning Live Encoders from the front panel
The primary method for assigning a Live Encoder to a parameter is to use the front panel controls
directly. The Live Encoders operate much like the jog dial in that it is both a rotary control
and
a
selection control (by pressing on the knob).
To assign a Live Encoder, simply navigate to the [Progr], [Edit] or [FX] pages and choose the
desired parameter, select the virtual knob or slider on the screen you wish to control.
Then press down on the desired Live encoder until you feel a “click” underneath the knob and
see the selected parameter changes color to reflect the encoder you have selected.
