Transport / Utility Soft Keys
The Transport / Utility soft key set comprises all of the assignable switches within the Nucleus centre section.
All of these switches (with the exception of EQ and DYN) come pre-assigned to the functions printed on the Nucleus control
surface.
Due to the constraints of displaying a faithful representation of the Nucleus centre section within the Remote, the layout
of switches in the Transport / Utility page of the DAW tab differs from the actual control surface layout.
There are three additional switches shown in the Transport / Utility soft key page which do not actually feature on Nucleus
control surface.
Foot Switches 1 and 2 The two foot switch keys in the top-left corner allow the two momentary foot switch inputs on the
rear panel of Nucleus to have commands assigned to them. Both the HUI and MCU protocols
provide dedicated codes for use with foot switches which actuate the DAW transport Play and
Record functions. These are shown in the command list as Play Foot Switch and Record Foot Switch.
KVM Hot Key This key, located adjacent to the foot switch keys, is only required on setups where there is more
than one DAW computer connected to Nucleus. The key can be programmed with a command to
control an automatic USB KVM switch, telling it to switch between computer ports. When
programmed, it outputs a keyboard command whenever its layer is selected using the DAW 1 and
DAW 2 switches on Nucleus, telling the KVM switch to select the USB port connecting to the
computer on which the layer’s DAW or MIDI device is hosted. The specific commands used by your
KVM switch can be found in the KVM switch operating manual.
Assigning Soft Key Functions
There are different assignments that can be given to soft keys:
- Any command within the relevant DAW control protocol
- Any command that can be sent using the DAW keyboard (either single key presses or multiple key press commands)
- The Mode keys within the User soft key sets can also be made into menu buttons, opening a sub-menu of functions
assigned to the V-Sel switches
Each of these assignment procedures are described over the following pages.
