begin blinking to indicate it is waiting for a destination to be chosen. Click on a
parameter's slider to select it as a destination and the button will remain lit. (If no
destination is chosen within 10 seconds, the blinking light will time out.)
When clicked, the single slider will split into two, forming a p air of sliders whose
color matches that of the Flexi Controller slot used. The position of the left slider
determines the base (unmodulated) value of the parameter (i.e. it functions e xactly
as the normal, non-split slider did). The position of the right slider, which can be
set above or below that of the left, determines the m aximum d eviation from the
base value when the modulation from the control source is at its maximum
amplitude; it also determines the d irection of the modulation.
e.g. If the Flexi Controller's control source is an LFO and its destination is PITCH
COARSE, then setting the left slider to 0 and the right slider to 12 will cause the
pitch to be one octave higher than the base pitch when the LFO is at the p eak o f
its cycle.
Staying with this example, then setting the right slider a bove t he left will cause the
pitch to r ise a s the LFO rises. Conversely, setting the right slider b elow t he left will
cause the pitch to f all a s the LFO rises.
At the instant the two sliders first appear, they both have the exact same value.
When adjusting the the left slider, both sliders move together, continuing to share
the exact same value. By contrast, when adjusting the right slider, the left slider
does not move.
After setting the right and left sliders to different values, adjusting the left slider will
again cause both sliders to move together, always maintaining the set distance
between them. If, however, while adjusting the left slider, the right slider hits the
upper or lower limit of its travel, then continuing to move the left slider in the same
direction will cause the distance between the two sliders to become compressed.
This compressed range will now be "remembered"; when moving the left slider
back in the other direction again, this new, shorter distance between the two
sliders will be maintained. To increase the distance again, adjust the right slider.
By default, the value displayed above the paired sliders is that of the left slider.
Clicking on the right slider will cause i ts v alue to be displayed instead for as long
as the mouse button is kept pressed. Upon releasing the button, the display will
revert to default after a short delay.
To delete a destination assignment, click once more on the red button in the Flexi
panel and the slider will return to its normal, non-split state.
Note 1: It is not possible for a single destination to be assigned to more than one
Flexi Controller. If you try to assign a second Flexi Controller to a slider that is
already assigned, then the new assignment will overwrite the old one.
Note 2: Y ou can only assign an EQ parameter as a destination for a Flexi Controller
from within the s lider-based panel. As soon as an EQ parameter has been assigned
