with zeros in the SR and Pin columns (like “mute all tracks” and “unmute all tracks” above) are
potential candidates for F1–F4 button functions. For example, if you want to to have a dedicated
button for “mute all tracks”, you should change one of the F1–F4 button entries to contain
“BUTTON_MUTE_ALL_TRACKS”. You could replace “BUTTON_BOOKMARK”, for example, as bookmarks
are easily available with MENU + SELECT as well.
It is important to note that if you enable e.g. “mute all tracks” for one of the F1–F4 buttons, you must
“comment out” the line where “mute all tracks” is set to SR 0 Pin 0. If the “zero address” setting is
not “commented out” in the file, it will have the effect of disabling the setting. “Commenting out” is
done by placing a # in front of the line, so that
BUTTON_MUTE_ALL_TRACKS 0 0
becomes
#BUTTON_MUTE_ALL_TRACKS 0 0
Button behaviour (momentary/toggle)
In the HW setup file it is possible to change the behaviour of a number of buttons, so that they do
their function while the button is pressed & held, or the button function is toggled 'on' and 'off' with a
single press. For example, momentary pressing & holding the MENU button shows the MENU page
only as long as the button is pressed & held, and you have to press another button while pressing &
holding the MENU button in order to choose a menu page. If you've set the MENU button to toggle,
you can just press MENU once and then press another button to choose a menu (or press MENU again
to return to the current page). This allows you to make menu page selections with one hand.
This is the relevant section of the HW setup file for configuring button behaviour:
