Chapter 4: Soft Keys

23

The following figure shows the completed Record command.

Wheel Commands

The Jog Wheel and Shuttle Ring can be assigned to perform commands other than their 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, using Logic Pro (the dialogs for your application may look different).

Custom Jog Command

Turning the Jog Wheel can insert keystrokes 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:

1  

Select 

Wheel

 from the 

Section

 pop-up menu. The Soft Key Wheel window opens.

Creating a command in the Soft Keys tab

Be careful. These examples can overwrite Soft Key assignments if you click Save. When finished, click Restore to restore the Soft 
Key assignments to the state before you edited them. You can revert to the factory default assignments by clicking Revert.
