Default Knob sensitivity preference is backwards?

Thank you for knob and pan knob sensitivity and max speed settings in v2. Much better! Is it possible that preference settings that the sensitivity sliders work opposite to the way they are marked? The knobs have no velocity sensitivity when set to 100 (there is no difference to resolution when turning slow or fast). When set to zero, the velocity sensitivity seems most sensitive.

Default Re: Knob sensitivity preference is backwards?

We changed this back and forth a few times and yes depending on how you look at it, it can seem reversed.

From the guide:

Speed Determines the range of a knob relative to the minimum to maximum values of the current parameter. At its lowest setting
(10), rotating a knob quickly requires approximately two complete rotations to go from minimum to maximum. At its highest setting
(100), parameters go from minimum to maximum value with a single rotation of the knob.
Sensitivity Determines how a knob reaches the current Speed setting. When set to its maximum setting (100), slowly rotating a
knob adjusts parameters at the finest resolution available; rotating quickly adjusts parameters at the current Speed setting. At its
lowest setting (0), response speed is roughly relative to rotation speed, and reaches maximum Speed only when turned very quickly.

Makes sense, and today that is exactly the way it behaves. I don't know why I was having trouble yesterday.

I actually had fun mixing today, turning knobs and feeling in control.

Hi Eddie.
Is it right that this doesn't apply to the knobs either side of the touch screen ?

It should apply to those....the ones it doesn't are the monitor controls.

hmm. . it doesn't seem that sensitive on the mtm. .
While I'm here, is there a way to put a send on a track from either the channel strip or the mtm ?
