Default S6 Softkeys

Are there soft key functions that represent the workstations? In my master module, I would like to use one of the two soft key panels as my workstation list and the second as my list of layouts. I can locate the layout recall in the Surface section of the soft keys, but I can't find a similar workstation recall. Does it exist?

Default Re: S6 Softkeys

Greetings,

Workstations can only be accessed from the master module touch screen or via the master module soft keys by pressing the WS button. Track and Meter Layouts can be accessed anywhere on the soft keys including by holding SHIFT on a fader module while pressing “/“ from the numeric section of the automation module which will access the pre-programmed list of track and meter layouts on the user pages. You can easily modify these to show more track than meter and even span pages. Since these occupy the automation module soft keys you can simultaneously access workstations on the master module and layouts on the automation module.


best,




Jeff

Thanks. Jeff. Your last suggestion was an original option. The user has other uses for the bottom automation controls. Thanks.

No problem. Here's a few more ways to address soft key customization:

(1) Modify one of the QuickJumps. A QuickJump is leveraging SHIFT modified 10 key numeric switches on the automation module. There are many pages nested under each of the 4 quadrants (2 each on Master Module and Automation Module) for Automation, Editing, Management and Monitoring for example. For each QuickJump, simply choose the desired page for each of the 4 quadrants to program to a single jump. More information can be found in the S6 Operation document page 72:

(2) Go full custom. Create completely custom soft keys to address operator needs by using the EuconLayouter app by SonicMonk:

Hope this helps.
