I’ve been wandering about the use of the Shift button when faders are not locked. The manual states it can be used “for aligning the physical fader with the parameter before modifying it”. However, with fader catchup this functionality doesn’t seem to be that useful anymore.
Instead, I would rather wish the Shift button could momentarily deactivate fader catchup.
I’m imagining the following logic:
(Case 1) Is fader lock enabled? — Shift button toggles fader lock (turns it off).
Otherwise (= fader lock disabled):
(Case 2) Is fader catchup disabled? — Shift button still toggles fader lock (this time turning it on).
(Case 3) Is fader catchup enabled? — Shift button deactivates fader catchup while pressed (fader lock remains disabled).
In fact, if the mentioned use case from the manual is not that important, I would rather have Case 2 and Case 3 behave the same way (toggling fader catchup).
What do you think?
