This is one of the most powerful features of Artist Control (see Chapter 7, "Soft Keys").
Below the Touchscreen are 12 Soft Keys (six per row). The bottom of the Touchscreen contains labels for each Soft Key. Soft Key
labels contain text plus an optional icon.

Jog Wheel and Transport Controls

The Jog Wheel controls jog, shuttle, zooming, and other functions. Surrounding it are keys that control Jog Wheel functions and

making cross fades, and similar functions. These functions are accessed using Soft Keys.
