Takeover Mode.
When MIDI controls that send absolute values (such as faders) are used in a bank-switching
setup, where they address a different destination parameter with each controller bank, you
will need to decide how Live should handle the sudden jumps in values that will occur when
moving a control for the rst time after switching the bank. Three takeover modes are
available:
None As soon as the physical control is moved, its new value is sent immediately to its
destination parameter, usually resulting in abrupt value changes.
Pick-Up Moving the physical control has no effect until it reaches the value of its destination
parameter. As soon as they are equal, the destination value tracks the control's value 1:1.
This option can provide smooth value changes, but it can be dif cult to estimate exactly
where the pick-up will take place.
Value Scaling This option ensures smooth value transitions. It compares the physical
control's value to the destination parameter's value and calculates a smooth convergence of
the two as the control is moved. As soon as they are equal, the destination value tracks the
control's value 1:1.
