Key commands
Saving key commands presets
Proceed as follows:
1. Set up the key commands and macros to your liking.
When setting up key commands, remember to click “Assign” to make the
changes.
2. Click the Save button next to the Presets pop-up menu.
A dialog opens, allowing you to type in a name for the preset.
3. Click OK to save the preset.
Your saved key commands settings are now available on the Presets
pop-up menu.
Loading key command presets
To load a key command preset, simply select it from the
Presets pop-up menu.
Ö The key command settings you load will replace the
current key command settings for the same functions (if
any). If you have macros of the same name as those stored
in the preset you load, these will be replaced too.
If you want to be able to revert to your current settings
again, make sure to save them first, as described above!
Loading earlier key commands settings
If you have saved key commands settings with an earlier
program version, it is possible to use them in this Cubase
version, by using the “Import Key Command File” function,
which lets you load and apply saved key commands or
macros:
1. Open the Key Commands dialog.
2. Click the “Import Key Command File” button to the
right of the Presets pop-up menu.
A standard file dialog opens.
3. In the file dialog, use the “Files of type” pop-up menu
to specify if you want to import a key commands file
(“.key”) or a macro commands file (extension “.mac”).
When you have imported an older file, you might want to save it as a pre-
set (see above) to be able to access it from the Presets pop-up menu in
the future.
4. Navigate to the file you want to import and click “Open”.
The file is imported.
5. Click OK to exit the Key Commands dialog and apply
the imported settings.
The settings in the loaded key commands file or macros file now replace
the current settings.
About the “Reset” and “Reset All” functions
These two buttons in the Key Commands dialog will both
restore the default settings. The following rules apply:
• “Reset” will restore the default key command setting for
the function selected in the Commands list.
• “Reset All” will restore the default key commands for all
commands.
!
Note that macros are only available in Cubase Ele-
ments. For simplicity reasons, this is only stated at
the beginning of this section, not for every occur-
rence of the word “macro”.
!
Note that the “Reset All” operation will cause any
changes made to the default key commands to be
lost! If you want to be able to revert to these settings
again, make sure to save them first!
