Selecting Edit Tools and Edit Modes
One of the most frequent tasks in Pro Tools is selecting different Edit Tools (such as the Grabber, Selector,
Trimmer and their variants) and Edit Modes such as Slip mode and Grid modes. This section shows how
you can use the Soft Keys on Artist Control to access Edit Tools and modes.
To access Edit Tools and Modes in the Touchscreen:
 In Page 1 (HOME) of the Touchscreen, press TOOLS. The default TOOLS page provides buttons for
each Edit Mode, Edit Tool and variants, zoooming and more.
To change Edit Tools using the Soft Keys:
1 Press SHIFT +SOFTKEYS/HOME to return the Soft Keys to their first (home) page.
2 Press the SOFT KEYS V (down) key once to navigate the Soft Keys to the second page.
3 Press the Soft Key for the desired Edit Tool (such as the Trim, Selector, or Grabber). You can press the
buttons in the bottom of the Touchscreen, or their corresponding Soft Key.
4 Press an Edit Tool Soft Key again to select the next option for that tool. For example, pressing Trim re-
peatedly cycles through all available Trim tool options. If it does not, see “Edit/Tool Mode Lock” on
page 46.
