Customizing the User Interface
Pyramix Virtual Studio
allows considerable customization of the user interface. Apart from the usual Windows
interface possibilities Pyramix has user defined
Workspaces
, customizable
Keyboard Shortcuts
and user defined
Macros
.
Workspaces
Workspaces are a method of saving many of the Pyramix Project Editing Panel settings, especially
Track Header
switches. Once saved a Workspace can be quickly recalled for future use.
Workspaces can be accessed via the pull down menu on the Pyramix Virtual Studio Window toolbar or via the
Project Management panel tab.
New Workspaces can be added by clicking ‘Click here to add a new Workspace’ on the first line of the Tab Window.
A text entry box opens where you type a name for the new Workspace. Hitting
Return
places the new Workspace
at the bottom of the list.
Workspaces may be re-named by clicking the name.
Workspaces can be deleted by selecting them and pressing the 'Delete’ key.
Applying a Workspace is done by double-clicking on the Workspace icon to the left of the name.or select
Work-
spaces > Recall
> Recall Workspace (X)
Parameters remembered by Workspaces are selectable per Workspace by clicking in the appropriate columns.
If the ‘Update on change’ column is set to ‘Yes’. The current state of all selected parameters is saved to the current
Workspace when another Workspace is selected.
Keyboard Shortcuts
We strongly encourage you to learn the default Pyramix keyboard shortcuts. These have been used by audio pro-
fessionals for over a decade, and are powerful, quick and efficient for audio editing and device control. However, if
you are already familiar with another style of audio or video editing, you may wish to create your own
Keyboard
Shortcuts
for various Pyramix transport and editing functions.
To define your own
Keyboard Shortcuts
:
1.
Choose
View
>
Customize
>
Keyboard Shortcut Editor
. This opens the
Keyboard Shortcut Editor
window.
2.
All menu
Commands
are grouped together into
Tabs
within this window. Select the
Tab
with whichever
group of
Command
Functions you wish to add or change key assignments for.
3.
Click on the appropriate
Command
so that it is highlighted.
4.
Click in the
Press new shortcut key
box. The cursor will become a blinking bar.
5.
Now press the desired
Key
or combination of
Key
and modifier (e.g. the
Ctrl
,
Shift
,
Alt
, etc.). These will appear
in the
Press new shortcut key
box. Note that Pyramix will warn you if the chosen
Key
or combination is
already assigned to another function.
6.
Click the
Assign
button.
7.
Continue assigning
Keys
to
Commands
until you are satisfied.
8.
Any set of user defined
Keyboard
Shortcuts
can be saved as a
Preset
. To do so, click the
Save Preset
button,
then name the
Preset
. Similarly, to recall a previously saved
Preset
, click in the
Presets
box and select it from
the pop-up list. Note that several common
Presets
are shipped with
Pyramix
Virtual
Studio
.The Table will be
saved in the system for the user currently logged in and will not affect any other user.
9.
A table can be Saved or Loaded to a file so it can be taken to an other system. Just Click on the Save Table or
Load Table button.
