LED

An LED is an indicator that lights up to show the state of a parameter. The Design tab styles the selected LED on a Control Panel. The sections appear top to bottom in the Modifier Panel.

Function Type

The Function Type section sets how the LED responds to its value. Choose one from the Type dropdown:

  • Threshold — The LED is either off or on. It turns on when the value is at or above the Control Threshold set in the Function tab.
  • Proportional — The LED gets brighter as the value rises. It is off at the Min value and at full brightness at the Max value.
  • Audio — The LED works as a signal-level indicator. It lights dimly when signal is present (above −60 dB) and brightens as the level rises toward 0 dB. From 0 dB it turns amber to show overload, and from +10 dB it turns red to show clipping.

For an LED mapped to a module parameter, the function type is set by that parameter and is shown read-only. A mapped LED can also show Clip, which is not offered in the dropdown.
