User Interface & Shortcuts
Wherever possible, the OASYS PCI supports standard user interface concepts.
There are buttons to push, sliders to drag, numerical
fi
elds to type in, and so on.
There are a few items and concepts which bear mentioning, as discussed below.
Volume faders
Double-clicking on a volume fader in a Mixer Channel, Send Bus, or Output Bus
will set the fader to 0dB (unity gain), a value of 111.
Knobs
Knobs are used in the Mixer windows and the Control Panel. You can move knobs
by dragging the mouse either up and down, or left and right, as if you were moving
a slider. They are
not
designed to be “turned” in a circular motion; doing so will
produce undesired results!
For
fi
ne control, you can increment and decrement the knob’s value using the up
and down arrows on the keyboard. You can also type directly into the value box.
A hint: even if a knob offers fairly coarse resolution (such as 0-100), you can
generally type in higher-resolution values (such as 0.000-100.000, in steps of 0.001).
Double-clicking on a knob will set it to its 12 o’clock position. For example, double-
clicking on the Mixer’s Pan knobs sets them to 64 (center).
Send knobs are the one exception to this. As with volume faders, double-clicking a
send knob sets it to 0dB (unity gain), a value of 111.
Value boxes
A value box displays a numerical value, such as a volume level or a
fi
lter cutoff.
You can edit value boxes in several different ways, as described below:
Typing.
You can type directly into the selected value box. Typed edits take effect
when you press return, tab, or enter; when you click on another value box, or on
another window; or when you move another knob, slider, button, or menu. As
noted above, typing in a value often allows you to enter values with much greater
precision than the knob or slider allows.
Arrow keys.
You can increment and decrement the selected value box by pressing
the up and down arrow keys on the computer keyboard.
Mouse dragging.
You can edit a value box by simply clicking in the box and then
dragging the mouse up or down, as you were moving a slider. Dragging up
increments the value, and dragging down decrements the value.
MIDI editing
You can edit some parameters by playing on your MIDI controller. These
parameters include:
