Virtual Fingers
Open Virtual Fingers from Main menu -> Fingers (or assign a hotkey).
Important: Please note that the current version of Virtual Fingers will not work with touch screens.
In order for faders and jog-wheels, a mouse or similar device must be used.
In order to make the Virtual Fingers work with LightJockey make sure to select virtual mode in Fingers
setup dialog - the Virtual Fingers will not work if LightJockey is configured to use Fingers on any of
the serial ports (or if fingers is disabled). Note that enabling Fingers in virtual mode causes
LightJockey it use extra CPU resources if virtual fingers is used or not. If virtual fingers is not used
make sure to disable Fingers in the setup dialog.
The virtual mode of fingers is in most respects a faithful representation of the real fingers. When
running Fingers in virtual mode it may be operated almost exactly as a real fingers, except that it is
not possible to use more than one control at a time. Also the virtual model takes up space on the
desktop, and is best used on dual-monitor systems or systems with quite large video resolutions.
Fingers button functions are activated by clicking the corresponding virtual button. Move the virtual
faders by click, hold and drag. To rotate a jog wheel, click, hold and then move the mouse up or down
to simulate rotation. Faders and jog-wheels may also be moved using a mouse wheel (see setup)
On the virtual model, shift buttons are always treated as latch buttons (click once to set, a second
time to release)
Use the following methods to overcome some of the other limitations of using the virtual model:
Right click the square button to simulate holding the button down (deactivating Fingers) - click a
second time to release the hold.
Right click the page buttons to simulate holding a page button for multi selection
If you find the looks of the virtual Fingers is just a bit too plain, use the setup dialog to select a
different skin for the Virtual Fingers.
