The Data Display Area


 

The Data Display Area is used to allow editing of individual presets of a bank. The Data Display Area displays all the controllers of the device, the currently selected bank relates to.

 

Uses of the Data Display Area

 

The data can be displayed as a list of all the controllers and relevant parameters, or a graphical representation of the relevant device, with the parameters for each controller displayed in the Editor. To select between list and graphic view, click on the 'view select' button. The main use of the Data Display Area is to edit controllers, and other parameters that are stored on the relevant bank.

Editing Controllers with the List view

 

If 'list view' is selected, the controllers are shown as a list of controls, and their parameters that can be edited are shown as further columns. Controls can be copied, and swapped over in the same way as presets in the Preset list. This is done by clicking and dragging them to swap the relative positions, or by holding COMMAND during the click and drag to replace one control's data with that of another.

 

It is also possible to copy controls between presets, and even banks. The Data Display Area will display the data, determined by the currently selected preset in the Preset list. If you select and then copy controls of one preset, and then click on a different preset, you can paste the controls into the newly selected preset. Since the currently selected bank determines the contents of the Preset list, to copy controls onto a different bank, simply copy the controls, then select the bank, then desired preset and paste to the desired controls.

 

Note: If your device does not have the option to select different Presets, there will only be a single Preset listed in the Preset list.

 

You can also drag a Library parameter onto the control, which will update all the relevant parameters for the control as necessary. This is by far the easiest way to edit a control.

 

Should you know the exact CC, or control's parameter you want to enter, it is possible to do this by double clicking on the relevant value in the list, and entering the number. The name of the parameter the controller is assigned to will update accordingly. A list of CC's that can be entered, and the parameters that are relevant to them is given here.

 

Editing Controllers with the Graphic Editor

 

In Graphic View, Copy and paste of controllers works a little differently. If you select controls for copying, there positions relative to each other are remembered. Then, when you paste in a graphic view, the positions the controllers are pasted to relative to each other are maintained. This means for example, if you select F1, C10, C18 and C26 on the UC33, and then click and drag F1 to control F3, the paste will affect controls F3, C12, C20 and C28.

 

Viewing a controller's data in Graphic view

 

It is possible to select that Enigma should display the MIDI CC and Channel assignment above the relative controller in graphic mode. This option can either be enabled from the view menu, or by using the short cut key.
