Menu Implementation

Allowing a Soft Key to Jump that Soft Key section to another bank provides several
interesting ways to organize Soft Keys. For example, a bank can be created that shows
the application's pull-down menus (i.e., File, View, Insert, Format, etc.) on the top row.
Figure 5-7 shows an example of a Soft Key menu:
The Nuendo and Pyramix Application Sets use this functionality to put the most impor-
tant functions on Banks 1–6, with Soft Keys that jump to other banks to display further
options (i.e., the File Menu or the Transport commands).
When implementing this functionality, we recommend creating a Soft Key that jumps
back to one of the top level banks (i.e., the Home key at the bottom-right of every bank
in the Nuendo Application Set). Pressing the Bank 1–6 buttons at the top of the Soft
Keys also navigates back to Banks 1–6.
