Are there keyboard shortcuts that we can cuistomize?

Posted

I've been working in Synfire this morning and can't for the life of me figure out any of the keyboard shortcuts.  I even searched zoom in the manual several times and can't find a shortcut reference page.

 

I have Cubase, Final Cut Pro, Premiere, everything set up to the same key strokes and would love to be able to do this on Synfire.

Thanks.

I too would like to see more 'conventionality' of SFP with some of the other DAWs.. I realize much of SFP functions have no similarity to Logic or Cubase.. But I EMPHASIZE you should follow MAC conventions where ever possible.

The great think about Macs is and always has been, you can almost figure the program out without reading the manual. SFP is extremely complex, this would not be a simple undertaking, but perhaps as more users become accustomed to it, they could put forth ideas. This process may take quite a while. I have seen quite a bit of maturity in Logic in the 20+ years I've been using it, in fact all the DAWS are continually refining, simplifying and making procedures more apparent

For instance I greatly appreciate the resizable library windows. Now if you could move the word "library', we could ascertain what the library is without scrolling or resizing.

Another issue with library, is I can't see all the parameters. I can only see down to the 'rhythm' and velocity'. Instead of opening and closing categories I'd rather there be a scroll bar there. or have a parameter window alone (or a few) which will address whatever function (in this case library). when you click on 'parameters'

Make verbose commands much like you already had, and make standardized shortcuts which can be customized. Since this program is so complex, I'm sure many people will develop different approaches to use it, much as one does in Logic or photoshop.

If I've already repeated what others has said or been addressed, forgive my ignorance, I still have a great deal to learn with SFP, but I'm taking it at my own pace

Customizable keyboard shortcuts are on the agenda, albeit not yet implemented. There are a few difficult obstacles to master that we could not yet address properly.

I just shortened the library window title by the word "Library", which is not needed once a file was named.

Thanks, Andre, good to know these are coming.

 

I actually do more work on a PC than Mac but jump between different platforms and programs.  I've customized all my keystrokes, especially when it comes to transport/navigation functions so it comes naturally in each program. This will be a welcome function.
