Keystroke Commands – “Hot Keys”
It's often faster to use keystrokes instead of picking up the mouse. We've added many keystroke “hot keys” to mute
instruments or to adjust volume, panning, reverb, chorus, or bank of instrument without using the mouse.
If a hot key is not performing as expected, it might be because the operating system has assigned a different function
to that key. You can disable the operating system hot keys assignments by going to the Apple System
Preferences/Keyboard & Mouse and clicking on the Keyboard Shortcuts tab. Scroll down to find the key you are
looking for, and uncheck it in the “On” column. Then your Band-in-a-Box hot key should work properly.

This is a list of keystroke “hot keys.” These keys are also listed on the pull down menus beside the function.
