-Continuous controls send a value from a range of MIDI values from MIN to MAX, as set in the control's MIDI Properties panel or in the NAMED TICKS values.  The NAMED TICKS option can provide non-continuous, arbitrary order, and repeated MIDI values, as desired.  Compare to discrete controls (button only), which can send only one (on only) or two (on/off) different values.+Continuous (or variable) controls send a value from a range of MIDI values from MIN to MAX, as set in the control's MIDI Properties panel or in the NAMED TICKS values.  The NAMED TICKS option can provide non-continuous, arbitrary order, and repeated MIDI values, as desired.  Compare to discrete controls (button only), which can send only one (on only) or two (on/off) different values.

 +===== Page Sizes =====
 +
 +In the beginning, there was a single iPad page size, and all layouts were the same size.
 +
 +We now have a wide variety of page sizes, and a layout's aspect ratio may not match the current device.  In this case, you have two icons at the bottom right of the display.
 +
 +{{:manual:pan-zoom.png?nolink&400|}}
 +
 +- magnifying glass - zooms in to full width, or out to show full layout\\ 
 +- hand - when highlighted and zoomed-in, repositions layout view\\ 
 +
 +There is capability to disable these icons when the aspect ratio does not match.
 +
 +These icons not shown on a Mac.  The layout is always shown full width.  Use your trackpad or mouse to zoom layout view.
 +
 +New layouts will start in a device's native capability.  Mac layouts will be a maximum size.  For more universal compatibility you can start with a smaller device layout size.  This is not currently a menu option - see Q&A forum where some smaller blank layouts are posted.
 +
 +You can resize an existing layout to a devices native size - //More / Config / Change Layout Size//.  Choosing //TALL// (i.e., portrait) with a layout designed in //WIDE// (landscape) can have adverse impact on control positioning.

-Relationships between two controls that are not Super-Sub, used to modify control behavior.  These provide  the additional tools for complex relationships.  These relationships are dynamic - a control is selected that will dynamically enable / disable the behavior.  In most cases, the implementing control is a button.+Modifying one control behavior with a second, not super/sub relationship. These provide  the additional building blocks to implement complex relationships.  These relationships are dynamic - they can change during PLAY - a control is selected that will dynamically enable / disable the behavior.  In most cases, the implementing control is a button.  The one exception is the knob used for LOOPER length.

 Notes Notes
   * Controls need to be on the same page to configure the relationship.  They can be moved after configuration.   * Controls need to be on the same page to configure the relationship.  They can be moved after configuration.
   * If the buttons implementing these relationships do not need to either transmit or receive MIDI, select //No MIDI Send / Receive//.   * If the buttons implementing these relationships do not need to either transmit or receive MIDI, select //No MIDI Send / Receive//.
 +  * We could arguably include PEDALBOARDs in this list.  PEDALBOARDS can be a hybrid - super/sub relationships, when the option to impact only current page subcontrols you have dynamic switching that knows which pages are visible.
