Pressing Align toggles between the five align modes for the encoders. The [Align command](/grandma2/key_keyword_align/) will be executed.

By default, the align mode is off.

1. **Align <** mode is on. The encoder proportionally adjusts the fixture or channel values. The highest value is on the **last** fixture or channel of the selection. \
    
2. **Align >** mode is on. The encoder proportionally adjusts the fixture or channel values. The highest value is on the **first** fixture or channel of the selection.\
    
3. **Align ><** mode is on. The encoder proportionally adjusts the fixture or channel values. The highest value is on the **first and last** (inverted) fixture or channel of the selection.\
    
4. **Align <>** mode is on. The encoder proportionally adjusts the fixture or channel values. The highest value is on the **center** of the fixture or channel selection.\
    
5. **Align** mode is **off**. The encoder **equally** adjusts the fixture or channel selection.

The Align mode is displayed in the encoder bar.

If you choose an other preset type in the preset control bar, the align mode turns off.
