Knob
The Knob is a continuous rotary control. It works in MIDI, MACRO or OSC mode and has the same options as the Fader, plus a double-tap action that returns it to zero or to the center.
What it's for
- Panning, resonance, sends and synth parameters.
- Pages where you need many controls in little space.
Adding a knob
- Open the Editor.
- In the palette, choose Knob in the MIDI, MACRO or OSC section.
- Double-tap the knob to open the inspector.
- Set it up and tap Save.
Using it in Perform
- With Pickup, drag up to raise the value and down to lower it.
- With Jump, touch the point on the arc where you want the value.
- Tap twice in a row (within 0.3 seconds) to send the value to zero or to the center, depending on what you chose in Double Tap.

Macro mode
Just like the Fader: in Macro mode, the knob moves other controls between a From value and a To value for each target. Possible targets are Faders and Knobs that aren't in Macro mode, and the XY Pad per axis. Read more in MIDI, MACRO and OSC modes.
