Using the keyboard

Cursor keys: Select the active mixer element (fader, button, or switch)

Page up/Page down: Changes the value of the active mixer element

Home: Resets the mixer element to its preset (passive) initial value. Press "Home" again, and the
element is reset to the last value, allowing a simpler comparison between the altered and initial
preset states.

End: Opens the assigned subwindow of an element, e.g. the EQ window for one of the EQ
buttons. This corresponds with right clicking on a button.

Return: Enables the numeric entry for a marked window box.
Operating the mixer with the mouse and keyboard
Left click: A control element is selected.
Ctrl & left click: Several control elements can be selected (multi-selection).
Shift & left click on buttons: Allows special functions to be changed, e.g. mute single track or solo single
track (although they are members of an active group).
Shift & left click on buttons or faders: Reverses the link selection (negative selection).
Ctrl & left click: A single control element can be temporarily positioned within a group by pressing "Alt"
and operating the element.
Double click on numbers: Opens the entry box to allow manual entry of numeric values.
Double clicking on buttons: Resets the control element to its preset (initial) value. Double clicking again
sets the value back to the changed value.
Left clicking on value displays, below the faders, or on the left button corners decreases the values. If the
key is kept depressed, the value is automatically reduced until the key is released, or until the end of the
scale has been reached. ("Page down").
Right clicking on value displays, below faders, or on the right button corners increases the values. If the
key is kept depressed, the value is automatically increased until the key is released, or until the end of the
scale has been reached. ("Page up").
Right clicking on buttons (e.g. compressor) opens the corresponding window ("End").
The level faders can be adjusted very precisely. Click on a fader, keep the mouse button pressed, move
the mouse pointer away from the fader to the left or right. You can then adjust the settings by moving the
mouse in a vertical direction. The steps of the settings become smaller as the mouse button is moved
further away from the selected fader.
The step size of the fader movement also becomes smaller if you keep "Shift" depressed while moving a
fader.
There are two ways to change knob settings. After clicking on a knob you can either move the mouse
around the knob this is the standard method, or move it up and down similar to moving the faders. You
can reduce the step size of the value settings by keeping the "Shift" key depressed.
