Furthermore, this controller implements 3 command types for the slider pad in order to respond to various editing patterns. Of course, you can use several slider pads simultaneously. -The Freedom to Adapt the Layout According to Various Purposes.- In TMPGEnc Smart Tap Controller, you can change the placement layout of the pads and can assign a command to each pad.
