Keyboard shortcuts
Interaction with linking modes
Global and local linking preferences affect which channels are modified by keyboard shortcuts:
Global Device Select-Linking Mode—If the Global Device Select-Linking Mode is set to “All channels on the active GALAXY tab are always linked...,” then changes will also affect the same channels on any linked devices.
Gain Control Linking Mode and Delay Control Linking Mode—Gain and Delay changes across linked channels will be affected differently depending on Absolute or Relative mode (selectable in Compass: GALAXY Preferences > Isolate and Linking tab).
Mouse or typing
Press the indicated key to modify how a control is edited.
If using a mouse, press the indicated key(s) while clicking and dragging the mouse.
If using a keyboard only, press the indicated key while pressing the Enter key after a numeric value has been entered.
Isolate Current Channel
Control (Command on Mac) = Current Channel. Using this sequence isolates changes to the current channel, even if it is linked to other channels through Selects or Link Groups.
Link stereo pairs
Changes made to one channel will affect the stereo pair. Input pairs: A–B, C–D, and E–F. Output pairs: 1–2, 3–4, 5–6, etc.
Shift = Stereo Pairs. In the case of toggle buttons (Mute, Polarity, Bypass, etc.), pressing a button for one channel will set its stereo pair to an identical state.
Example 1: Channels A and B are both muted. Toggling Channel A while holding Shift will unmute both channels A and B.
Example 2: Channel A is muted and B is unmuted. Toggling Channel A while holding Shift will unmute Channel A but do nothing to Channel B.
In both cases, the result is Channels A and B are in an identical state: unmuted.
Alt-Shift = Stereo Pairs + Special Toggles. This command sequence behaves in the same way as Shift for all settings that are not controlled by toggle buttons.
In the case of toggle buttons (Mute, Polarity, Bypass, etc.), toggling a button for one channel will toggle its stereo pair as well, regardless of whether their states match up.
Example 1: Channels A and B are both muted. Toggling Channel A while holding Alt-Shift will unmute both Channels A and B.
Example 2: Channel A is muted and Channel B is unmuted. Toggling Channel A while holding Alt-Shift will unmute Channel A and will mute Channel B.
In both examples, the end result is that Channels A and B independently toggle from one state to the other.
Link all channels
Changes made to one input channel will affect all input channels; the same controls apply for output channels.
Control-Shift (Command-Shift on Mac) = All Channels. Changes made to all channels in a device.
Control-Alt-Shift (Command-Alt-Shift on Mac) = All Channels + Special Toggles. This sequence behaves in the same manner as Control-Shift for all settings that are not controlled by toggle buttons. (See similar examples in Link stereo pairs .)
