The Takeover settings allow you to adjust the hardware control behavior of Parameter Takeover and Knob FX Takeover for the K1–K3 Knobs, and Fader Takeover for the FADER. Each setting can be set to one of the following options:
  • Pickup: Parameters are not editable until the hardware control position matches the parameter position. This is the default behavior for Fader Takeover.
  • Scaled: Parameters move in the same direction as the hardware control is adjusted. The rate of adjustment is scaled based on the hardware control and parameter position to ensure they eventually meet. This is the default behavior for Parameter Takeover and Knob FX Takeover.
  • Instant: As soon as a hardware control is adjusted, the parameter jumps to match the knob position.
