Keyboard Triggers
For any buttons that trigger an output (actually, all buttons except
for the GPI IN buttons), you can also choose a keyboard trigger
that will perform the same actions as clicking on the button. The
trigger can optionally be passed on to the front application, with or
without a delay. The delay can be from 0 - 1 second. This lets you
do things like hit the space bar in Pro Tools to start playback, but
have the eBOX GPI8 turn off the studio monitors and wait a half a
second before sending the space bar to Pro Tools.
To set a keyboard trigger, click in the field next to
Trigger with
Keystroke
then type the trigger Character, modifier keys and all.
At any time, you can change the modifier keys by clicking on the
modifier checkboxes.
Because the keyboard triggers are assigned to specific applications,
they only operate when those apps are in front. Therefore, they
will not interfere with Microsoft Word, or your billing software.
NOTE: Keyboard triggers are disabled in the
Global Keyset
to prevent
unwanted interference with other applications.
