6. Sequencer Master
The Sequencer Master section houses a convenient display
for the current Engine, Pattern and Pad, as well as global
volume, tuning, mute, solo, tempo and Groove controls for the
current Engine.
It also contains the Undo button, and the Playback and Re-
cording controls.
1:4 Control conventions and keyboard
shortcuts
The UNDO button
GURU provides a one-level Undo function when editing
Patterns. When there is something to Undo, you’ll see the
Undo button highlighted. Any operation which involves notes
in Patterns can be undone – even loading Patterns from the
Browser.
The Undo button is also used in Record mode, in order to
Undo the last take. When in Record mode, this button can be
controlled by a MIDI note.
Keyboard shortcuts
GURU is quite heavily dependent on keyboard shortcuts, in
order to facilitate quick edits and fast workflow.
One very important shortcut to remember is [CTRL]-click,
which is used for numerous frequently used functions.
• On Windows, [CTRL]-click in GURU is the same as the right
mouse button.
• On Mac, [CTRL]-click in GURU is the same as Apple-click.
You should, therefore, whatever your OS, be able to use right-
click for [CTRL]-click operations (assuming, of course, that you
use a 2-button mouse).
It is also worth remembering that [ALT] is a key modifier which
results in modifying
all similar parameters. This depends in
many cases on what is being clicked. Please see section 11:2
for a full list of GURU’s keyboard shortcuts.
