In most DAWs these are used to navigate window or channel sets. With both alt and shift keys down these butttons send comands equivalent to the second master section row. These are effectively the F-keys in the topmost row of an MCU unit's master section. Touching the extras icon in the top right corner brings up a floating control with eight function keys that can be freely mapped to functions of your choice in some DAWs, but have fixed assignments in others. You will also find an equivalent to Live's 'Back to arrangement' button when the app's sequencer preference is set to Live. The navigation cross can be used for clip selection, with the zoom button in its center launching selected individual clips. With Ableton Live this screen may also be convenient for launching clips and scenes in clip view: The jogwheel will scroll through scenes, the scrub button triggers the currently selected one and advances to the next. It provides a full set of transport controls including jog wheel and allows for marker navigation and placement.Īlso included on this screen is access to save and undo / redo functionality far as those are exposed by the DAW.

The transport screen is primarily about navigating through a DAW project timewise.
