Hot key assignments
The Hot Keys setup screen is used to map frequently used functions 
to front panel keys, remote keypad keys and foot switch keys. Hot 
keys can save time by eliminating the need to navigate through menus 
to initiate a function, or by making a function more accessible through 
a foot switch or remote keypad.
