Chapter 6: The Multi Button and Transport Buttons 33
Configuring the Multi Button
(Building a Macro)
Once you have decided what task you want the
Multi button to perform, and which keyboard
shortcut or collection of shortcuts the button
will need to emulate, you can set up the config-
uration as described below.
To configure the Multi button:
1
Locate the keyboard shortcut used for a func-
tion in your software.
For this example, you want to configure the
Multi button to activate a function within your
software, and the keyboard shortcut is
Com-
mand+ Spacebar
(Mac) or
Ctrl+ Spacebar
(Win-
dows).
2
Click the Step 1 button.
3
Choose the required modifier key from the
Modifiers drop down menu for the Step. For this
example, you will need to select
Command (Mac)
or
Control
(Windows).
4
From the Keys drop down menu, choose the
“main” key used in the shortcut. For this exam-
ple, you would need to select “
Keyboard Space-
bar
” from the drop down menu.
5
Label the Step with a description by entering
text in the Scribble Strip, such as “Record” or
“Start Record.”
6
Repeat steps 1 through 5 of these instructions
if you want to build a macro using as many of
the remaining 7 Step buttons as required.
For example you could use Step buttons 2, 3, 4,
and 5 to configure the Multi button to perform
the Stop (or Stop Record), Save, Go to Beginning
(Return to Zero), and Play functions respec-
tively, within your software.
7
Save the newly configured Multi button as-
signment by clicking the Save As button at the
top of the main control panel window.
If you have only set up one Multi button assign-
ment or Step, the button will perform that func-
tion each time it is pressed. In the case of this ex-
ample, it will activate the record button in the
transport window of your software, if it was the
only Step in the sequence (i.e., all other macro
Steps have been cleared).
On the other hand, if you have made additional
assignments, and built a macro as described in
step 6 of these instructions using Step buttons 2,
3, 4, and 5, the Multi button will perform each
of the five functions in the order shown in the
table below, before jumping back to Step 1.
In other words, your software will start record-
ing on a record enabled track the first time you
press the Multi button. Once you have finish re-
cording, pressing the button again will stop the
Refer to your software documentation for
more information about available default
keyboard shortcuts, and creating custom
shortcuts.
This step is not necessary if the keyboard
shortcut does not require a modifier key.
