on the parameter until the knob
“snaps” on at the position equivalent
to the original value. In SNAP
mode, an ®-symbol appears to the
right of the number. It indicates in
which direction the VALUE knob
must be turned to exceed the current
parameter value.

value and a knob position at the
minimum value - you do not have
