Hi folks,
This rackspace contains a switchable matrix of 4 banks by 8 knob widgets, which can be used through 8 physical knobs of your MIDI controller. By switching the active widget bank, it is possible to control up to 32 plugin parameters!
The very top row of knobs are called “Control XY”, they should be midi-mapped to the physical knobs of your controller only (not to plugins!).
Below are 4x8 knobs which can be parameter-mapped to plugins (but not a midi controller!).
On the side there are 4 pads to select the knob-bank which will be actually affected from the “Control” knobs (the pads can also be midi-mapped to physical buttons).
That way you can select which row of the 32 matrix-knobs (=plugin parameters) will be controlled if you dial your physical knobs).
So, in short, the value of a “Control” knob is mirrored by the respective matrix knob of the selected bank.
If you change the active bank, the values of the activated bank’s knobs are copied to the control knobs, so you always have the actual state at hand!
A RESET ALL button will do what it says: Reset all the widgets!

Have fun with it…
