THE PREFERENCES SCREEN

 

 

The Preferences Screen is divided into 2 main areas:

1. Communication Settings

 

2. Visual and Behaviour Settings

 

Banks:

  • Select which bank to configure using the large bank buttons.
  • The thinner Active buttons allow you to change the currently displayed bank in the Performance Screen without leaving the Preferences Screen.

Behaviour:

  • Inertia: Variable setting for smooth morphing transitions when moving the object. Slowest setting is 100, fastest setting is zero (corresponding to no inertia).
  • Control Inertia via Ribbon: maps the inertia slider to performance screen ribbon for real-time changes during performance.
  • Jump: Object position jumps to touch anywhere on screen.
  • Jump Retrigger: When jump mode is enabled, it can send a centre touch (trigger) message if desired.
  • Trigger Hold: Sets latch vs momentary action. If enabled a touch in the object centre latches the output message to 1, to send a zero, “throw” the object centre. If disabled a touch in the object centre only sends out 1 as long as it is being touched.
  • Snapshot Retrigger: When pressing a snapshot it can send a centre touch (trigger) message if desired.
  • Nodes: number of nodes can be configured per bank.
  • Ribbon: show/hide multi-touch ribbon controller at the lower edge of the Performance Screen.

Visuals:

  • Labels: numerical labels for each node
  • Touch Areas: visual display of the node and centre touch recognition areas
  • Visualisation options: select up to 3 different simultaneous visuals. If the maximum of three visuals are selected, changing visuals requires deselecting one of the currently selected ones first.

Utility functions:

  • Clear all snapshots: double-click to erase all of the snapshots in this bank
  • Copy settings: copies all Behaviour and Visual preferences from this bank to any other bank
