Operation / Controls

Users have the option of controlling all LinPlug MorphoX dials in either a
circular or a linear manner depending on the Dial Mode setting on the
LinPlug MorphoX's rear panel (see the Settings chapter of this manual for
more information about the MorphoX's rear panel).

Holding down the ALT key while clicking on a control changes the selected
control's value a minimum step upwards (when clicking in the upper half of
the control) or a minimum step downwards (when clicking in the lower half
of the control).

Holding down the CTRL key (Windows) or COMMAND key (Mac) while
clicking on a control sets the control to its default value (e.g. for Volume
controls it sets the control's value to 0 dB).

Holding down the SHIFT key while changing a control's value enables finer
control values to be set.

Double clicking once in a Modulation Matrix slot sets the value of the slot to
0.00. Double clicking in the same slot a second time resets the slot to its
previous value.

All Controls can be controlled using external MIDI messages. To do this you
need to use the LinPlug MorphoX's ECS which is described in detail later in
this manual.
