3.1.3. Parameter inputs

A cable carries a signal between compatible sockets. Check the signal kind, unit and range before choosing its destination.

1. Connect LFO Signal to Map Range Input.
2. Connect Map Range Result to Filter Cutoff.
3. Set the Map Range output range to 300–3000 Hz.

Result: the cable drives the Cutoff value and its own slider follows that signal.

A control can have a socket at the left end of its row. That socket is a parameter input: connect a cable to it and the cable sets the parameter.

• While a cable drives a parameter, its slider no longer responds to dragging. Remove the cable to set the value by hand again.
• A parameter has one driver at a time: its own control, one cable or one Macro (see Macros and DAW automation). A parameter assigned to a Macro refuses a cable until you remove it from the Macro.
