Setting the Scope of Quick Control Assignments
By default, all zones inside the layer that the quick control belongs to respond to the
quick control. To prevent zones inside a program from responding to the quick control,
you can change the scope of the quick control for a single layer or zone.
The pop-up menu in the middle of each assignment row displays which part of the
program is affected by this quick control assignment. If the name of a zone or module is
displayed here, only that zone or module is affected by the quick control assignment. If
the name of the program or one of its layers is displayed, all zones inside the program or
layer are affected. You can change which part of the program is affected by selecting
the corresponding option from the pop-up menu.
When a quick control is assigned to a parameter of the program or one of its layers,
the scope of that assignment is always that program or layer only. Any layers from
deeper hierarchy levels are not affected by the quick control. This behavior is different
to assignments that apply to zone parameters: Assignments for all zones inside a
program or layer always affect the zones that are on a deeper hierarchy level, too.
You can also deactivate the "Receive Quick Controls" button for certain layers, see
"Receiving Quick Controls"
Setting the Minimum/Maximum Range
You can set the minimum and maximum range for each assignment separately. This
gives you better control over the parameter change.
You can set the range for a control either by specifying a minimum and maximum value
on the context menu of the control itself, or by using the corresponding value fields in
the Quick Control Assignments section. To edit the range graphically, click and drag
the blue handles in the curve display.
Trimming the Range
The Trim Range function allows you to optimize the quick control range depending on
the current parameter value.
Proceed as follows:
1. Right-click the assignment in the list on the right.
2. To trim the range of a single assignment, select "Trim Range". To trim the range of
all quick controls, select "Trim Range of all Quick Controls".
3. The minimum and maximum values are set automatically.
Whenever you change the original parameter, you have to apply the Trim Range
function again to guarantee the best control range.
Setting the Default Range
This function sets the quick control to the maximum possible range.
Proceed as follows:
1. In the Quick Control Assignments section, right-click the assignment on the right.
2. To set the default range of a single assignment, select "Set Default Range". To set
the default range of all quick controls, select "Set Default Range of all Quick
Controls".
As soon as you change the original parameter in the editor section again, the Set
Default Range function has to be reapplied to guarantee the best control range.
