Hot-Keys
There are three primary uses for Hot-Keys:
1. Triggering playback of assigned Cuts
2. As an alphanumeric keyboard
3. Bank selection, using the top row of keys
The main array of 50 buttons are Hot-Keys numbered 1 through 50. A Hot-Key's primary function is
to trigger playback of a Cut assigned to it. Hot-Keys light up whenever their assigned Cut is playing.
In the Bank Select mode, the numbers 1 through 10 on the top row select the corresponding Banks
numbered 1 through 10. The banks are like pages of Hot Keys. They extend the number of cuts that
can be assigned to Hot Keys to 500 ( 50 Hot Keys times 10 Banks ) and also provide a method for
organizing cuts.
