User Interface Settings
Controls Mode
This setting determines how UAD Powered Plug‑In parameter knobs respond to
adjustment. Three control modes are offered: Circular, Relative Circular, and Linear.
Select the desired mode from the drop menu. The behavior of each mode is described
below.
Linear (slider) – In Linear mode, the knob is adjusted by dragging horizontally or
vertically instead of by rotating. This behavior is similar to moving a physical fader.
Circular (jump) – In Circular mode, the software knobs behave similar to physical rotary
knobs. Values are changed by clicking on the knob then rotating in a circular direction.
When the edge of the knob is clicked, the parameter value jumps to the mouse position.
Relative Circular (grab) – Relative Circular mode operates similar to Circular mode, but
the knob value does not jump to the mouse position when clicked. Instead, the knob
value is modified relative to its original value.
In Relative Circular mode you can click anywhere on the knob to make an adjustment
originating at the original value. You don’t have to click on the current knob position.
Tip: To increase resolution when in adjusting rotary controls in circular and
relative circular modes, increase the radius of the mouse relative to the knob
while dragging (i.e. move the mouse farther away from the knob while dragging in
a circular motion).
Use Host Mode
Important:
This box should remain UNCHECKED with the UAD-2 Live Rack
system.
When Use Host Mode is checked, the control mode set within the host application
preferences is used if this feature is supported by the host. This setting forces the host
to override the control mode set in the UAD user interface settings.
Note: When Use Host Mode is checked, the UAD Meter user interface settings
have no effect unless control mode is NOT supported by the host.
Toggle initial value modifier
Holding the specified modifier key while clicking a parameter control will toggle between
the value of the control when the editor was opened and its last edited value.
