Using the Modules

 
 
 

The Tangent Element Control Surface is composed of four modules.

The layout of the displays of each module mirrors the functions of the knobs/buttons of each module.

KB module (Knobs)

The KB module is a knob-based interface for user input parameters.

The values of each parameter assigned to the knobs can be reset by pressing the knob.

TK module (Trackballs)

The TK module is also an interface for user input parameters. The trackballs and rings provide an intuitive way of precisely modifying parameters and are especially well suited for grading, among other things.

Trackballs: You can modify parameters by spinning the trackballs left / right or up / down based on the current mode.

Rings: You can modify parameters by turning the rings left / right.

The values of the parameters assigned to the trackballs and the rings can be reset by pressing the Reset button above them.

Trackball: You can modify parameters by spinning the trackball left / right or up / down based on the current mode.

Ring: You can modify parameters by turning the ring left / right.

The values of the parameters assigned to the trackballs and the rings can be reset by pressing the Reset button above them.
