GUI Elements

Most GUI elements provide hints or additional information about them in the form of hints.

We simply leave the mouse pointer over an element and wait for the hint text to appear.

Channel strips in SoundDesk can be rearranged by drag-and-drop actions.

ctrl+click (right click) on any insert will display options available for that insert.

cmd+click on an insert will toggle bypass on and off.

Drag-and-drop the insert to move it to a new place, or drag-and-drop while pressing the alt key to copy it (including settings).

Note: not all inserts support Side Chain, only the ones that do will have a Side Chain sub-menu.

Slider and Pot elements can be sent to the default value with a ⌘+click or with a double-click action.

When the focus is active, we can type any value into a number box.

Alternatively, we can drag the number (up/down) to increase/decrease the value.

Number boxes are sensitive to the number that we grab within the box, increasing/decreasing at the respective scale.

If a number box has a default value, a double-click action will set it to default.

cDSP insert meters have a channel matrix button that loads a menu of available channels.

By selecting/unselecting a channel name, we tell the meter whether it should use that channel in its calculations.
