FR: Standardize Control Routines [Edited]


sjoens

Recommended Posts

Currently some controls require different routines for the same action. Consistency speeds proficiency.

Requests:
1. 1xClick ALL Value Windows to enter values. Like Control Bar does
2. 2xClick ALL Knobs & Sliders/Faders to -0-
3. Scroll Wheel to change values up & down  (knobs & faders do. values can too)
4. Slow 2xClick Knobs & Sliders/Faders to enter values when no Value Window available
     OR - 2xClick top half to enter values & bottom half to -0-

Current routines:

Console strip Pan values:
(1) Turn the Knob  (scroll wheel or mouse drag) (2xClick returns to -0-)
(2) 1xClick the Knob and hit ENTER.  (never knew this)
(3) 1xClick the Value Window and hit F2
- Clicking on the Value Window does nothing.

Console strip Volume values:
(1) Slide the Fader  (scroll wheel or mouse drag) (2xClick returns to -0-)
(2) 2xClick the Value Window  (nice)
(3) 1xClick the Value Window and hit ENTER.  (never knew this)
(4) 1xClick the Value Window and hit F2

Track View values:
(1) Scroll Wheel or Mouse drag the Value Sliders.
(2) 1xClick the Value Window and hit F2

Control Bar values:
(1) 1xClick the Value Window  (nicer)

Until today, I didn't know Pan values could be entered manually.  Because of Dissimilar Command Routines, what else am I missing?!

And yet a dbl-clik in the <Key +> widget in the MIDI portion of the channel Inspector commits an RTZ,  and the brackets [ & ] will move +/- 12 semi-tones, but there is no way to input text directly (as in +3 steps) into it. I could swear that previous renditions of the program allowed direct text input with a dbl-clik, but that may have been back in X3.  Only way now is to fight with a mouse and the little tiny slider.

EDIT:

Thanks @kperry ... F2 is the answer! (I will have to find an alternate for my current keybinding to F2, but that I can do)

Track View controls can only be changed by mouse dragging the Value Sliders.

Not quite.  Select a control and press F2 ("rename" in standard Windows shortcut keys).

But inconsistency continues, because double clicking the pan knob on the sends allows you to type their value. And that's true for both the inspector strip and the console strip.

This one gets me the most as I keep expecting 2xClick to Center it like it does for the Volume - right next to it - and the main Pan.
2xClick Sends Volume makes 2 different actions according to cursor position.
