2.4 Value Fields

Value fields contain the numerical values of parameters. The values indicated can be changed
in a variety of ways:
•
Clicking within the field: The value is highlighted and you can enter a value using your
computer keypad. Press [Enter] to confirm or [Esc] to let the value unchanged.
•
Using the diamond button ( ) next to a value field: Click on it and hold the mouse button
depressed. Drag the mouse up/down to increase/decrease the value, respectively. Depending
on the resolution of the parameter, you will see one, two or three diamonds next to its
value field. The leftmost diamond has the biggest range – and the lowest resolution: use it
to change the value roughly. Use the other diamonds to make finer adjustments.
•
If your mouse has a scroll wheel, you can place the cursor on a diamond and change the
value by turning the scroll wheel. Move the wheel forward to increase the value and back-
wards to decrease it.
•
You can also right-click ([Ctrl]+click on Mac) on most value fields to bring up a contex-
tual menu. Here you can assign the parameter to one of the Macro Controls. More spe-
cific information about Macro Controls can be found at section
ABSYNTH 5: Macro Controls".
