Page buttons may be used to select 4 different pages of functions. Most control groups (faders, jog
wheels, button groups) may be configured with different functions according to the selected page. The
current selected page is indicated by the page button LED. The page buttons are also used to invoke
multi-select mode (see below)
Shift state and page selection, notes
Most Fingers controls may be setup to contain different functions according to shift state (shift
buttons) and page selection (buttons A-D).
In order to use or configure the functions in the different shift states and on different pages, use the
corresponding shift or page button to switch Fingers into the relevant shift state or to the relevant
page. Although enabling shift state and page selection for the various controls will greatly expand the
number of possible functions it also means that functions may be spread over a large number of shift/
page combinations, thus requiring multiple Fingers button presses to activate.
The B/O button and GM (Grand Master)
The B/O button and GM fader both have fixed functions and are always controlling LightJockey's
blackout state and master intensity level respectively.
Note both blackout state and Master intensity level may still be manipulated from LightJockey, even if
Fingers is attached. The Blackout button LED reflects the following intensity states:
Off - Master intensity at full
Blinking - Master intensity at less than full (Master intensity set at less than 100% or master intensity
auto fade in/out in action)
On - Blackout
B/O and GM are not affected by shift or page button combinations.
The 'Square' button
The Square button has two functions. Tap the button to show and hide the fingers status panel. Hold
the button for more than 0.5 seconds to deactivate Fingers commands - when in deactivated state,
the status panel still shows relevant feedback (fader positions or slot selections) but any commands
sent from Fingers are ignored by LightJockey. The function of this button is not affected by shift state
or page selection.
The function buttons (F1-F10)
The function buttons may be used to invoke a large number of LightJockey functions including hotkey
functions and various programming elements such as cues or cue lists. The function buttons are
always decoded with respect to the current shift state, thus giving access to 40 (4 x 10) different
functions - 10 functions for each shift state. The function buttons may also be configured to react on
page selection as well as shift state, increasing the number of possible assignable functions to 160
(10 x 4 x 4). If function button page selection is enabled, the status panel will show functions as
assigned to each page (each column represents a page selection). Use the shift buttons to switch the
shift state in order to access and configure the different 'shift block' of functions.
If function button page selection is disabled the status panel shows functions according to shift state
(each column represents a given shift state).
See configuring and using the function buttons for configuration details and hotkey functions for more
information on the individual hotkey functions.
The scroll buttons
The scroll buttons may be configured to open and scroll in and select items from various lists (up,
down, select). Alternatively the buttons may be configured as scroll in a cue list or go/back/run-stop in
