Fader Properties

A fader provides the ability to control the level of a configured system attribute, such as a zone, preset, etc., from a linear fader.

Faders may be created in a vertical or horizontal orientation, although when a fader is initially drawn, its orientation is set based on the aspect ratio of the control. You can change the orientation settings in the Property Editor.

A fader has the following editable properties in addition to the Basic Properties:

  • Value Font - the font used to display the value on the fader
