S1 modifier keys not set up
 
Hi
I just got 2 S1's to go with my dock and on both machines the modifier keys Shift, Control, Opt/Win and Command/Alt are not set up and i can't see any way to set them to be the respective Windows key commands they are supposed to be.

Is there a way to do this or is this a bug does anybody know?

Also, I have 2 S1's but in the Eucontrol Soft Keys set up there is only one S1 showing and whatever I program on one unit is duplicated on the other rather than being able to set different commands for each unit.

Is this as it should be or a bug?

Any help anyone can offer would be appreciated.

Cheers

I have an S1 and the modifier keys were not programed. I used the Avid Control on iPad to program them and the remaining user keys. I believe I found that in the latest manual.

Thanks for your reply. I've looked all through the manual and whilst it tells you how to program the user commands like save and edit etc, it does not give you the Windows modifier keys. You can program a command that uses Shift + something like Shift + A to select all but I just want the 'Shift' button on the S1 to be a Shift button as on the computer keyboard.
These were pre-programmed on my S3 and are supposed to be on the S1 but are blank.

I do appreciate your thoughts though.

Hi EddieJones - thanks for the reply but these aren't what i'm talking about. These allow you to program a set function to a button such as CTRL + C to Copy, but do not allow you to program the button to behave like a shift key on a PC keyboard without any predetermined function other than shift or control or alt. They are supposed to be preset like this and are not.
Thanks anyway

My S1's dont have anything "programmed" to these in Eucon/softkeys/S1 track color keys. However, by default they act as these modifiers. You can certainly set them up to be whatever you want.

At the moment, the S1's track keys mirror each other. There is also a second layer of 8 keys if you use the shift button.

Actually I was wrong. If nothing is programed to the S1 Modifiers then they work as system modifiers correctly. I just checked on my S1.

Thanks for the reply Lynn - Yes, that's where my problem lies - my brand new ones have nothing programmed on these keys in Eucon yet do not perform as the System modifiers.
I've raised a ticket with Avid now so hopefully they will be able to fix the issue - it can surely only be a config files somewhere in the backgrouns with the wrong setting or something.

I think this may be because you are not using PT? these system Modifiers have to be supported by the DAW
