Tips & Tricks
itÕs just as if you had chosen the Edit-Quantize command from the
menu.
You can choose one of two options to deÞne the Shift key:
¥ MIDI key (typically, the very lowest or highest key on your MIDI
keyboard)
¥ Controller event (typically, one of the pedals)
If you use a MIDI key as the Shift key, then you lose the ability to play
that note by itself. When you play the note, Pro Audio assumes you are
about to choose one of the key bindings you have created and ignores the
note. If this is ever a problem, you can disable MIDI key bindings
without canceling the key assignments and then re-enable the MIDI key
bindings later on.
You can use a key binding to execute a command only when that
command is available from the menu. For example, the File-Save
command is disabled when no projects are open. If you have assigned the
Ctrl-F2 key combination to the File-Save command, it wonÕt do
anything when no projects are open.
You use the Options-Key Bindings command to set up and manage
your key bindings. HereÕs how.
To Create a Key Binding Using the Computer
Keyboard…
1. Choose
Options-Key Bindings
to display the Key Bindings dialog
box.
2. Check Computer in the Type of Keys list.
3. Highlight the key combination you want to bind from the Key list.
4. Highlight the command you want to assign from the Function list.
5. Click Bind to bind the key combination to the command.
6. Click OK when you are done.
Pro Audio puts an asterisk (*) next to the key to show that it is bound
to a function and draws a black line connecting the key and function
name. From now on, pressing the chosen key combination executes
the command you have chosen.
