Controls

Dials

Moving the mouse up increases the position of the dial and moving the mouse down decreases the position of the dial. Pressing shift and moving the mouse up or down changes the value by a small amount. Pressing ctrl + left mouse returns the dial to its default value. Mac uses "command-click" to return the dial to its default value.

Sliders

Moving the mouse right increases the value of the slider and moving the mouse left decreases the value of the slider. Pressing shift and moving the mouse left/right changes the value by a small amount. Pressing ctrl + left mouse returns the slider to its default value. Mac uses "command-click" to return the dial to its default value.

Right Controls (or control-click on Mac)

Pressing the right mouse button on sliders and dials allows you to reset the controller / parameter to its default setting or to midi-latch / midi-unlatch a controller. When you press "latch to midi", BLUE waits for a midi event and latches the last controller to that midi control, so for instance if you right click on "Volume", select "Latch to midi", and then move the modulation wheel, this latches the volume controller to the modulation wheel. So moving the modulation wheel alters the volume. Select "Unlatch all midi" to clear all midi controller settings for the preset. In the GLOBAL section of the BLUE LCD screen part you can save your midi control setup as a file.

Menu's LCD display

Clicking the right mouse button (or control-click on Mac) in the Alg, PD/WS, Env, Multi-Env, Step-Sequencer or Sequencer pages brings up a menu with additional functions appropriate to that section.

On / Off Buttons

Clicking on these turns the control on or off

Selection Buttons

Clicking on these allows you to select between different selections, an example is the envelope selector or the main LCD selector

Menu Buttons

Clicking on the main part of the button brings up a menu, from which you can select an option.

Display of parameter values

At the bottom is shown the display output, this shows the currently altered control and its value. Below this is the preset, this shows the current preset and clicking here allows you to select a different preset. The master volume sets the global volume for BLUE and is stored in each preset. Click on the BLUE logo to display the rear panel of BLUE with additional info and credits.
