3.3 USING THE GRAPHICAL INTERFACE
AXS contains an easy to use graphical user interface (GUI).
Like any GUI, you control it by moving the mouse and clicking
on items like scrollbars, buttons, LED's etc. Below is a summary
of the GUI items used in AXS and how they work.

LED |
A LED can be ON or OFF. You can toggle its
value by clicking on the LED. Clicking somewhat to the right
of the LED will also work. Some LEDs are indicators only;
clicking on them will have no effect. |

Button |
Press the button by clicking on it with the
left mouse button (LMB). When going through large lists, ie.
when selecting a preset, holding the [SHIFT] key on
your keyboard will cause larger steps to be taken.

Knob |
To rotate a knob, click on it with
LMB, hold it (do not release LMB) and move the mouse to
the left or right. To stop rotating, release LMB.
To quickly set a knob at its minimum/half-way/maximum position,
press RMB on the left/middle/right of the button.

Dragbar |
Dragbars are used for the file selector
and the inline help pages. To move a dragbar, press and hold LMB on
the moveable part of the dragbar. To stop dragging, release
LMB. If the dragbar is complete filled up it means all data
is already shown and scrolling is not possible.
