Customizing the User Interface
Pyramix Virtual Studio allows considerable customization of the user interface. Apart from the usual Windows
interface possibilities Pyramix has user defined Workspaces, customizable Keyboard Shortcuts and user defined
Macros.
Workspaces
Workspaces are a method of saving many of the Pyramix Project Editing Panel settings, especially Track Header
switches. Once saved a Workspace can be quickly recalled for future use.
Workspaces can be accessed via the pull down menu on the Pyramix Virtual Studio Window toolbar or via the
Project Management panel tab.
New Workspaces can be added by clicking ‘Click here to add a new Workspace’ on the first line of the Tab Window.
A text entry box opens where you type a name for the new Workspace. Hitting Return places the new Workspace
at the bottom of the list.
Workspaces may be re-named by clicking the name.
Workspaces can be deleted by selecting them and pressing the 'Delete’ key.
Applying a Workspace is done by double-clicking on the Workspace icon to the left of the name.or select Work-
spaces > Recall > Recall Workspace (X)
Parameters remembered by Workspaces are selectable per Workspace by clicking in the appropriate columns.
If the ‘Update on change’ column is set to ‘Yes’. The current state of all selected parameters is saved to the current
Workspace when another Workspace is selected.
Keyboard Shortcuts
We strongly encourage you to learn the default Pyramix keyboard shortcuts. These have been used by audio pro-
fessionals for over a decade, and are powerful, quick and efficient for audio editing and device control. However, if
you are already familiar with another style of audio or video editing, you may wish to create your own Keyboard
Shortcuts for various Pyramix transport and editing functions.
To define your own Keyboard Shortcuts:
1. Choose View > Customize > Keyboard Shortcut Editor. This opens the Keyboard Shortcut Editor window.
2. All menu Commands are grouped together into Tabs within this window. Select the Tab with whichever
group of Command Functions you wish to add or change key assignments for.
3. Click on the appropriate Command so that it is highlighted.
4. Click in the Press new shortcut key box. The cursor will become a blinking bar.
5. Now press the desired Key or combination of Key and modifier (e.g. the Ctrl, Shift, Alt, etc.). These will appear
in the Press new shortcut key box. Note that Pyramix will warn you if the chosen Key or combination is
already assigned to another function.
6. Click the Assign button.
7. Continue assigning Keys to Commands until you are satisfied.
8. Any set of user defined Keyboard Shortcuts can be saved as a Preset. To do so, click the Save Preset button,
then name the Preset. Similarly, to recall a previously saved Preset, click in the Presets box and select it from
the pop-up list. Note that several common Presets are shipped with Pyramix Virtual Studio.The Table will be
saved in the system for the user currently logged in and will not affect any other user.
9. A table can be Saved or Loaded to a file so it can be taken to an other system. Just Click on the Save Table or
Load Table button.
