Window 106

=  Remap Controllers Etc. =

Hex
Show controller numbers in hexadecimal...

E.g. a for 10. Usually prefixed with 0x as 0xa etc

You can enter values in hexadecimal anywhere in FTS even if this check box is unselected, just prefix the number with 0x. This check box changes how the numbers are normally displayed for the controllers fields.

Hexadecimal goes:

1 2 3 ... 9 a b c d e f

10 11 12 ... 19 1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f

20 ...

a0 ...

b0 ...

...

ff

100

etc - similar pattern to decimal numbers but with sixteen digits instead of ten, with a b c d e f used for the digits with values 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.

So for instance 0x10 is decimal 16, and 0xa is decimal 10.

Alt + F1 or Alt + click (alternatively Caps lock physically held down + F1 or Click) takes you to the on-line page at the robertinventor.com web site about the current main window task - which gives a short introduction to it for newbies to the program. If there is no on-line page specific to a task, takes you to the main tune smithy page on the web site.

Since the help for Tune Smithy is currently a bit out of date and needs to be redone completely for the new 3.0 release, then you may find the on-line page for some of the newer tasks particularly useful.
