Description:

The Fader is found in the CONTROL LIBRARY section of the UI DESIGN view. 

After a panel has been created, click and drag the Fader object from the CONTROL LIBRARY onto a panel page workspace.

This is the default fader, the exclamation point means that there's no control assigned yet.

Assigning a Param​​eter

In the PARAMETER TREE in the left pane, expand the Devices section or use the Search function to locate the parameter to associate with the fader.

To assign the Gain parameter from the Music gain object to the fader, drag the parameter directly onto the fader. The exclamation point will go away when a parameter is assigned.

Properties

The fader's coordinates and size can be changed here, or by directly clicking on the Fader and moving it around the workspace and using the handles to resize.

Under Orientation, the fader can be switched between Vertical and Horizontal.

To display the scale, click Show Scale. Select Left, Right, or Both sides of the fader to display the scale.

The scale will represent the parameter attached to it, so the fader on the left is showing d B, but the fader on the right that has a frequency parameter attached to it is showing frequency from 20 to 20k.

The SCALE section has the font style, size, Opacity, and Padding [offset spacing] settings for the scale that appears next to the fader.

The THUMB section is for modifying the properties of the circle on the fader. The Fill color, opacity, and Radius for making it larger or smaller can be edited here.

The TRACK section is for adjusting the track or slot shown behind the thumb. Color, opacity and Thickness can be edited for both the background and active section of the track.

SUBRANGE is for setting a minimum and maximum value of the parameter that the fader will be limited to.
