SHIFT Key
The SHIFT key lets you access a secondary function for each key, if one has been assigned. Press and hold the SHIFT key and press
another key to access the secondary function.
The SHIFT key can be used in conjunction with the SHOW key to display the alternate function. Since this may require holding
down three keys, it is useful to lock the SHOW key (see “Locking the SHOW Key” on page 12) or the SHIFT key (see “Locking the
Shift Key” on page 16).
Locking the Shift Key
The SHIFT key can be locked to access multiple alternate key functions without holding the key down.
1 Press and release the SHIFT key quickly and then press another key to access its alternate function. Continue in this manner
until finished.
2 Press and release the SHIFT key quickly again to restore normal operation.
If you have another Artist Series media controller connected to the same instance of EuControl as your Artist Transport, you can
also lock the SHIFT key by pressing two SHIFT keys down simultaneously. These keys can be on different devices. Unlock the SHIFT
key by pressing and releasing one quickly on any device. See “My Surfaces” on page 28 for more information.
