or effect name now appears in the Reverb/Effect Select button, and the Parameter

knobs in MX-Edit change position, layout, and number, depending on the default val-

ues for the selected reverb or effect.

To make editing easy and intuitive, there are three ways to adjust knobs in the MX500

Hardware Plug-in window:

Mouse - Circular

Place the cursor at the outer (shadowed) edge of a knob, then click and hold the left

mouse button. The white indicator line on the knob jumps to the mouse cursor's

position, and follows the cursor as it moves around the circumference of the knob.

To make fine adjustments, continue to hold the left mouse button down and move

the cursor away from the knob; the white line still follows the cursor, no matter how

far away it is from the knob. (Note that this control does not apply to Macs; hold the

Option key to make fine adjustments.)

Mouse – Up / Down

Move the mouse cursor to the center of a knob; the knob is highlighted, and the cur-

sor changes to a double-headed arrow, pointing up and down. Click and hold the left

mouse button, causing the cursor to disappear. Move the mouse up to turn the knob

higher, or move the mouse down to turn the knob lower. For very fast edits, press and

hold the Ctrl key on your computer keyboard while moving the mouse; this multiplies

the adjusted value by a factor of 10 (Windows

only).
