Commands: Channel Settings
| Command | Default Key | Function | My Rating | Link |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Show/Hide Direct Routing | As it says. Shows/Hides the side panel that contains the direct outputs routing. | 0 | Channel Settings | |
| Show/Hide Output Chain | As it says. Shows/Hides the chain of outputs. If the channel goes through a group 1, and then this group 1 goes to group A, and then group A goes to the Master, it will reveal those 3 faders; group 1, group A, Master. | 0 | Channel Settings |
Notes:
It is sad that channel settings do not have any more key commands. Even a simple “Insert Effect on Next Free Slot”, or “Activate Send 1-8” would go a long way. No way to control even the pre section, no way to even push the “phase” button. This section definitely needs some love.
Observation:
The window is divided in three zones. Tab will switch focus to the first element of each zone. However, Show Next Tab/Show Previous Tab commands do not work in this window, making it impossible to switch from Inserts to Strip in the left zone, for example, or from Channel Strip to Equalizer in the middle one.
Keyboard navigation:
When you have the whole section in focus, for example a red rectangle around the whole inserts rack, press DOWN. From there, you can go to the next slot with SHIFT LEFT/ SHIFT RIGHT. You can press ALT ENTER to “Activate” the selected slot. (For inserts, the plug-ins list appears, to make a selection. For sends, the Routing Destination list appears.) ALT A bypasses the focused slot. ENTER brings up the plug-in window for inserts, allows to change the send level for sends. That’s all nice and dandy, but it’s neither intuitive, nor efficient.
