Virtual Console Speed element

Hi everybody,
is there a simple way to swap the +/- function of the button?

For me it is clear, but for the users I have, it is difficult to understand why they need to hit - button to make the chase run faster.
So can I swap the function of these buttons?

Best Regards

Well I already made a Text, that says "press - for faster/ + for slower", still doesn't help.

Recompile the users and fix them ! :D

(or recompile QLC+ and invert the +/- signals)

Have you tried explaining to them that the "Speed Dial" control doesn't control "speed", but rather "time"? Once I started thinking about it like that, it made a lot more sense. It's not the speed of the chase, it's the time for each step of the chase. A bigger time means a slower chase, a smaller time means a faster chase.

I like Massimo's idea:

- There have been so many times on so many projects I wish this was a possibility!

The Users are DJs not lighting guys... I guess this says all :-)

I'll try again, but I'm more a Hardware guy than a Software guy. :evil: Probably I should just make some physical Buttons...

Or I should add some "amplification" to my words while teaching
