The 12 S-keys (softkeys) provide context sensitive functionality, which will assist in navigating PaletteOS software
dialogue boxes and execute actions linked to the [TOOLS] and [VIEW] buttons. The amber LED will blink showing
the current control when a dialogue box is open.
The softkeys can be used in conjunction with the [ALT] key for a total of 24 softkeys (broken up into two banks of
12: upper and lower.) When the [ALT] key is pressed, it will change to the Upper bank of 12. (Refer to
on page 19
for location of the [ALT] key.) The LEDs on each softkey will light up to let you know that the softkey is
available, with the Lower bank illuminating amber and the Upper bank illuminating green.
Dialogue Navigation Function
If a PaletteOS software dialogue box is active, each of the softkeys will provide a related function. For example, if the
Record As Cue dialogue is active, pressing [S1] prompts Cue List, [S2] prompts the Cue Number, [S4] prompts
Name, etc. If the Console Setup dialogue is active, the softkeys would provide functions related to the console's
setup, and so on.
Tools and View Function
Similar to the PaletteOS software dialogue box operation, these softkeys will provide context sensitive functionality
after either the [SHIFT] [TOOLS] or [VIEW] buttons are pressed.
