Jog Wheel Commands - Avid Technology Artist Control User Manual

Create a New Soft Key
The Record command is created in the default application set for most, if not all, applications. This section shows how to create
a new Soft Key using the Record command as an example.
To create a new Soft Key:
Select Touchscreen or Surface from the Section pop-up menu.
1
Select a blank key and click Command.
2

Jog Wheel Commands

The Jog Wheel can be assigned different commands than the typical jog and shuttle functions using additional Wheel
Commands. It is important to note that there are two steps:
• The desired Wheel Command must be selected and assigned to a Soft Key.
• That Soft Key must be pressed to invoke the function.
The following examples demonstrate this process. These examples use Logic Pro so the dialogs for your application may look
different. Be careful because these examples can overwrite a useful Soft Key if you click the Save button. When finished, click Re-
store to restore the Soft Key assignments to the state they were in before you edited them. If you did click Save, you can revert
to the factory default assignments by clicking Revert.
Custom Jog Command
Turning the Jog Wheel can insert key strokes into an application. This example inserts up and down arrows when the wheel is
turned left and right, respectively. In most audio applications, this scrolls through the displayed tracks.
To create a custom Jog command:
Select Wheel from the Section pop-up menu.
1
Note that you must select the Artist Control wheel icon.
