Soft Key Overview
In the main control section of the console is a two row LCD display with 8 switches above and below. All of these 16 'Soft Keys'
can be programmed to send either DAW specific MIDI commands or keyboard shortcuts. The top row can also be programmed to act as
'Menu' keys for the lower row of switches, Up to 5 sets of Soft Keys can be stored with each Profile. The default Profile for each protocol
includes a suggested set of keys for the top, or Default, set. The remaining four sets are empty. The assignments for the default layer is described
below for each of the default Profiles.
Chapter 6 describes how to customise the Soft Key assignments to suit your own needs.
