Commands: Focus

Through trial and error, aid from assigned navigation keys, and sheer luck, you can even (mostly) (somewhat) control mixconsole racks, channel settings page, and others.

Command	Default Key	Function	My Rating	Link
Back		Moves focus to the previous focus point?	?
Confirm	Alt Return	Multifunctional key. At times loads plug-ins, other times expands tabs, other times activates sends. It’s a key of action! Do I know what it does exactly? No.	10

Commands: HeadTracking

Command	Default Key	Function	My Rating	Link
Head Tracking		Brings up the Head Tracking panel.	3	Head Tracking Window

[ggmanestraki]

Commands: Hitpoints

All the commands work with multiple selections (1 tool). If a range is selected (2 tool), hitpoint processing will apply to the whole event caught in the range, and not just the range.

Command	Default Key	Function	My Rating	Link
Calculate		Allows you to manually create Hitpoints for the selected event(s). (If Preferences>Editing>Audio>Enable Automatic Hitpoint Detection is unticked)	7	Editing Hitpoints Manually
Create Audio Slices from Hitpoints		Slices up the selected event(s) at their hitpoints, and bundles all those new events (slices) into a part.	7	Slices
Create Markers from Hitpoints		As it says. This command will create a marker for each hitpoint encountered. Note: When we use this command on multiple tracks and events, the numbering of the markers goes like this: Marker 1 will be the first hitpoint of the first event selected. Marker x will be the last hitpoint of the last event selected on the same track. Marker x+1 will be the first hitpoint of the first event selected on the second track etc. etc… So when the whole procedure completes, you will see marker numbers all over the place. To state it in another way, the markers are not sorted according to global project time. If you wish them to appear “in order”, use “Functions>Reassign Position Marker IDs” in the Markers window (Ctrl M).	7	Creating Markers
Divide Audio Events at Hitpoints		This will take the scissors to the events, and split them at the hitpoints’ positions.	7	Slicing Multi-Track Drum Recordings
Remove Hitpoints		If you are not happy with the detected hitpoints (automatically detected or otherwise) you can use this command to remove them all. Will also work with multiple selections.	7	Editing Hitpoints Manually

OMF…		Brings up the Import OMF window, in order to choose the file.	4	Importing OMF Files

[ggmanestraki]

Commands: Inspector

Instrument Tracks have problems with a few of these commands, probably due to the “dual” setup present on their inspector. Not all Sections are on the same level, causing “open next/previous” to fail. “Inserts” could be MIDI inserts or channel inserts. More refinement is required, and keycommands for all the sections.

Command	Default Key	Function	My Rating	Link
Open Next Section		Opens the next Inspector Section. You can cycle through all of them with this command. Observation: If you have Sections pinned, the command will skip to the next unpinned section and open that one instead. When trying to cycle through instrument tracks WITH OR WITHOUT PINNED SECTIONS though, it seems that this command gets stuck when it reaches the “Instrument” Section. I guess that’s because “Instrument” gets its own setup, and the entries are nested within, on a different level compared to the following entries. So, upon reaching Instrument, the underlying sections appear, but if you want to keep cycling with the key command, you’ll have to manually open the first entry with the mouse. For me, it’s “Equalizers”. From there the command will work and cycle back normally, until reaching “Instrument” again.	5	Inspector Sections
Open Previous Section		Opens the previous Inspector Section. You can cycle through all of them with this command. Observation: See above. BUT, when you have NO Sections pinned, this command will allow you to cycle through all the sections.	5	Inspector Sections
Toggle Channel Section		Opens/Closes the Fader. Opinon: Should be renamed to Fader Section Note: Does not work for Instrument Tracks’ “Audio Fader” Section. HA!	5	Inspector Sections
Toggle Cue Sends Section		Opens/Closes Cue Sends Section. Note: Instrument Tracks don’t have a Cue Sends Section.	5
Toggle Device Panel Section		Opens/Closes Device Panel Section.	5	Inspector Sections
Toggle Direct Routing Section		Opens/Closes Direct Routing Section.	5	Inspector Sections
Toggle Equalizers Section		Opens/Closes Equalizers Section.	5	Inspector Sections
Toggle Expression Map Section		Opens/Closes Expression Map Section.	5	Inspector Sections
Toggle Inserts Section		Opens/Closes Inserts Section Note: When used on an Instrument Track, it will open/close the MIDI Inserts.	5	Inspector Sections
Toggle MIDI Modifiers Section		Opens/Closes MIDI Modifiers Section	5	Inspector Sections
Toggle Note Expression Section		Opens/Closes Note Expression Section	5	Inspector Sections
Toggle Notepad Section		Opens/Closes Notepad	5	Inspector Sections
Toggle Quick Controls Section		Opens/Closes Quick Controls Section	5	Inspector Sections

Browse: Forward		The Forward button of the MediaBay browser	6	MediaBay Toolbar
Browse: Up		The Up button of the MediaBay browser	6	MediaBay Toolbar

Create Folder		In Pool, creates a new folder. Note: You can only add a folder beneath Audio, or Video. You cannot add a root folder on the same level with those two. Opinion: The name of the command should be “Pool: Create New Subfolder” for more clarity.	3	Organizing Clips and Folders
Create New Folder		In MediaBay, creates a new folder under the selected path. Opinion: The name of the command should be “MediaBay: Create New Folder” for more clarity.	5
Create Sampler Track		Creates a Sampler Track from the selected file. Works in Pool and MediaBay browser. Note: Not to be confused with Commands>Audio>Create Sample Track	3	Creating Sampler Tracks
Empty Trash		Empties the trash folder in Pool. Works from the Project window too.	3	Deleting Files from the Hard Disk
Find Missing Files		Brings up the Resolve Missing Files window, in order to choose the path where the missing files are located.	0	Locating Missing Files
Generate Thumbnail Cache		From the manual: “You can manually generate thumbnail cache files. This is necessary if a thumbnail cache file could not be generated during import because the folder is write-protected, or because you have edited the file with an external video editing application.” Comment: Personally, when I hear “Thumbnail”, my mind goes to Videos and Photos. This command remains available always, so I’m guessing it’s a global command affecting just the video track (if present).	3	Manually Generating Thumbnail Cache Files
Hide Folders That Are Not Scanned		In MediaBay, hides all the folders that have not been scanned.	3	MediaBay Settings
Import Audio from Video		Crashes my Cubase, so I don’t know what it does. Note: Reported to Steinberg by Martin Jirsak
Import from Audio CD		Opens Pool window in the background, and the Import Audio CD window in the foreground. Note: Same as File → Import from Audio CD?	3	Import From Audio CD Dialog
Import Medium		Opens Pool window in the background, and the Import Medium window in the foreground, in order to choose a file for import (audio or video). (Presses the Import button in the Pool)	3	Importing Media
Insert into Project at Cursor		Inserts the file selected in the Pool at the Cursor’s position. Creates a new track if no track is selected. Note: While the key for the key command is shown next to the command in Media>Insert into Project, if you go to Pool>Right click on file>Insert into Project, the command’s shortcut key is not shown. In any case, the Pool must be open for the command to work.	5	Inserting Clips into a Project via Menu Commands
Insert into Project at Left Locator		Inserts the file selected in the Pool at the Left Locator. Creates a new track if no track is selected. Note: While the key for the key command is shown next to the command in Media>Insert into Project, if you go to Pool>Right click on file>Insert into Project, the command’s shortcut key is not shown. In any case, the Pool must be open for the command to work.	5	Inserting Clips into a Project via Menu Commands
Insert into Project at Origin		Inserts the file selected in the Pool at its Origin. Creates a new track if no track is selected. Note: While the key for the key command is shown next to the command in Media>Insert into Project, if you go to Pool>Right click on file>Insert into Project, the command’s shortcut key is not shown. In any case, the Pool must be open for the command to work.	5	Inserting Clips into a Project via Menu Commands
Loop Browser		Launches the Loop Browser	5
New Version		Creates a new version of the file selected in the Pool just underneath. Note: While the key for the key command is shown next to the command in Media, if you go to Pool>Right click on file, the command’s shortcut key is not shown. In any case, the Pool must be open for the command to work.	5	Duplicating Clips in the Pool
Open MediaBay	F5	Opens MediaBay	10	MediaBay Window
Open/Close Attribute Inspector	Ctrl Alt Num 6	Opens/Closes the Attribute Inspector in the MediaBay Note: This command is a show/hide right zone for the MediaBay, Loop Browser, and Sound Browser windows. Why have an extra command then? Because, if you activate Always on Top, this keycommand will work regardless of which window has focus (Project, Mixconsole). However, if we have all three windows open and always on top (MediaBay, Loop Browser, Sound Browser), the window that gets the command is MediaBay. If we close MediaBay, the next window to get the commands is Loop Browser. Opinion: It seems that this is a 5 segment layout - with Top, Left, Center, Right, Bottom Zones. I like it, and would like it implemented for all windows. Separating the key commands though, like in this instance, I’m not so sure.	10	Attribute Inspector
Open/Close Favorites	Ctrl Alt Num 8	Opens/Closes Favorites in the MediaBay (Doesn’t work for me. Not ready yet?) Notes: See above.	10
Open/Close File Browser	Ctrl Alt Num 4	Opens/Closes File Browser in the MediaBay Notes: See above.	10	File Browser Section
Open/Close Filters	Ctrl Alt Num 5	Opens/Closes Filters in the MediaBay Notes: See above.	10	Filters Section

Preview Active On/Off		? I don’t know what this does. Maybe it was there as an option before “Open/Close Previewer”?	?
Preview AutoPlay On/Off		Toggles AutoPlay mode of the Previewer On and Off. Good for a quick listen. Note: If the Right Zone of the project window has focus, and only then, the command will go there, no matter if you have A MediaBay window open and always on top. If the focus is on the project’s Left Zone, Lower Zone, or the project window itself, the command will go to the MediaBay window.	6	Audio Files Previewer
Preview Cycle On/Off	Shift Num /	Toggles the Preview Cycle On and Off. Notes: See above.	6	Audio Files Previewer

Remove Unused Media		In Pool, if there exist files that are not used in the project, this command will remove them. You can see which files are unused in the Pool with the help of the “Used” column. If no number exists in this column, the file is unused.	3	Removing Unused Clips from the Pool
Rescan Disk		Use this command to rescan the disk or folders for (new?) files. Comment: I’m not very confident that I really understand the differences between this command and “Refresh Views”.	6
Reset All Filters		In Mediabay, Loop Browser, and Sound Browser, resets all filters. (Those in the Top “Filter” Zone, and the Results Filter in the toolbar.)	6
Reset Result Filters		In MediaBay, Loop Browser, and Sound Browser, resets only the Result Filters (those in the toolbar)	6	MediaBay Toolbar

Shuffle Results		In MediaBay, Loop Browser, and Soundbrowser, shuffles (randomly reorders) the results.	3	Shuffling the Results List
Sound Browser		Launches the Sound Browser	3
Stop Updating Results		You can give this command while the MediaBay is populating the list of results to make it pause.	3	MediaBay Toolbar
Write Attributes to File		Not sure. This command exists in the Pool’s right click menu, but the key command key is not shown next to it. On the other hand it shows next to the corresponding entry in the Media menu. In MediaBay, changing of attributes is done automatically I believe.	?

Commands: MediaInspector

This command category does not exist at first! Right clicking in the MediaBay Attribute Inspector will make it available in Key Commands. I wonder if this applies to other functions too. How many key commands have I missed?!

Pedals to Note Length		Not sure. Per manual, this command is supposed to elongate the note up to the point where the recorded sustain pedal is released, and then deletes the sustain controller. In practice, it doesn’t always work as expected, or it’s me that doesn’t understand all parameters.	0	Rendering Sustain Pedal Data to Note Lengths
