QUESTION: All key commands, PLE and LE commands documented?

[ChrisDuncan]

That’s what I thought you meant but interestingly, my install of 9 doesn’t show any key commands in that column except for a couple that I mapped myself.

In your example, are those default Cubase commands, or ones that you mapped on your own? If they’re the defaults, I need to figure out why I don’t see them in my install.

The “Reset All” button will restore the default key commands for all commands.

Is there a place somewhere on the SB site where a -current- list of all key commands, PLE commands and LE commands is kept?

You probably already know this but I thought I’d mention the default key commands at least are listed in the manual if you do a search for ‘default key commands’.

Yes, those are the defaults and I have a few of my own Key Commands, but not in the category shown in the screen shot. The default Key Commands are in a directory and can be copied from a previous version. There are also some other files that have Key Commands that mirror some common commands used in Pro Tools and Logic, I think. I can’t remember where these files are located and don’t have time to check that right now. You should have the Cubase Presets in your installation directories. You’ll figure it out.

The default key commands are re-instated by clicking on the ‘Reset All’ button (lower right of the Key Commands window). From the manual: “The ‘Reset All’ button will restore the default key commands for all commands” (see screenshot):

Key Command presets are loaded from the Key Commands presets menu in the Key Commands window See screenshot:

(For safety purposes, you should always save your own key commands as a preset before doing either).

And, not only is there need for much better documentation, there’s also need for Usage Examples. The Operation Manual’s sections on these topics is not clear; it’s overly concise and lacking details or usage examples, hence, for me and I think others, these parts of Cubase remain largely unexplored and unused. Without the threads on the forum there’s no way I’d have learned to use these items at all, and, I’ve found this disappointing.

Ya think?

Key commands can be changed by the user. It would be good to have the ability to print out a list of our own key commands.

Z, I agree. I’ve not yet found in the time to learn how the Cubase XML files work, but I suspect there are users who might suggest utilities or methods to convert to a printable format.

For me, the Key Commands are useful and I’m slowly learning to use them. I’ve modified a few and added a few. Overall, I think Cubase’s system for adding new Key Commands is adequate as it stands. I just wish the documentation for PLE, LE and Transformer had more usage examples in the documentation and that the operation manual was a bit more detailed about the functions of, say, Value 1 and Value. I’m just trying to be patient and absorb a little at a time.
