Can somebody please give me a rundown on the Aria Instrument Controls, and explain why moving the dials to the left increases the percentage? Thanks!

The behavior of the round control knobs in the Aria player can indeed be bizarre and unexpected. Because: even though they are drawn as knobs they're implemented as left-and-right sliders.

That means that when you click down in the lower-left quadrant of the "knob" and slide left, for example, the controlled value will decrease on you (because you're going left), rather than increase - even though the knob depiction is going clockwise.

Whoever wrote that code had a bad day...

Thank you for your response. Can you please tell what each of the four knobs actually do? I'm not familiar with all of the abbreviations and the effect they have. :-)
