OS 1.50: Volume control in Live Mode

7 May 2010, 03:48

Hi there,
it's probably a stupid question, but I cannot find anything in the readme file concerning this: When using the 8 sliders in Live Mode, volume of the parts doesn't change any more. The slider in the display changes to red showing the new position, but nothing happens. I did not find any way to change volumes so far. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Hi orri,

I declare this not stupid at all (because I asked the same thing and I seem to be the king of these types of questions!!)

Art informed me that it's a System setting that's existed all along, it's just that this new project has selected another preference (probably a good move I think anyway, to show those of us who haven't looked that deep into options to have forced exposure to it. In fact, playing with this particular update has helped me understand so much more about what I can do with the G - especially in Live mode, which I've really only just started using - that's it's greatest value to me as someone who's very much still learning).

If you don't like it go to System > Knob/Slider and change "Knob Slider Mode" to Direct. Incidentally, I've left mine on the "Catch" setting. I quite like the volume not jumping to where I last left the slider, but it never occurred to me before that I could change it.

hi bonython,

thanks for your reply. I'm not near my FG now, but obviously this will help. And, of course, thinking it over, I could have guessed that it is not an OS issue, since in my old projects it works like before...

And I totally agree that the new OS along with FG Connect is really a great step forward. I use Live Mode most of the the time and hope to dsicover more...
