Keyboard & MIDI

Every shortcut, and what can be bound to a controller.

Press ⌘/ for this list in the app. Everything below is remappable in Settings → Shortcuts & MIDI, and most of it can be bound to a MIDI controller as well — useful when your hands are on an instrument.

Performance

KeysAction
Letter rows (40 keys)Trigger pads
Shift + mapped keyTrigger note repeat
SpacePlay the selected clip
EnterOpen Rewind capture
Shift+EnterArm or stop Perform
PgDnStart the free looper, or press it during a session
Shift+PgDnStart or cancel a bar-aligned (clock) loop take — needs a project tempo
PgUpDiscard the previous take and record it again
EscStop playback, or cancel the active flow
Esc ×2Stop looping voices
Esc ×3Reset the rewind buffer
DeleteMove the selected clip to Trash
⌘BShow or hide the clips panel
⌘/Open the shortcuts overlay

Shift+Delete also moves the selected clip to Trash, without needing an active selection first.

Live looper

Inside a looper session, Enter becomes the single press — the same gesture a footswitch sends.

KeysAction
EnterMark the base loop, arm the next pass, or cancel an armed overdub
Shift+EnterEnd the session at the next boundary and open it in the capture editor

These have no default key and are meant for a controller (or voice):

MIDI-bindableAction
Overdub toggleArm or disarm free-looper overdub
Return previousKeep the loop cycle that just went by (Flashback)
Undo passDiscard the pass in flight, or undo the last committed layer
End sessionEnd the session at the next boundary
Double / halveChange the loop length (halve is available after doubling)

Song Board

All four are MIDI-bindable app controls, not pad mappings — a sample pad never changes meaning when the board opens.

MIDI-bindableAction
Next SectionCue the next Section, or the next Roadmap step
Previous SectionCue the previous Section
Cancel cueCancel the queued Section change
Focus / RehearseSwitch between the two modes

Chop editor

Marker gestures on the waveform:

KeysAction
SpacePreview the selected chop or range
EnterApply the current tool (in Trim: save the trim / create the clip)
Shift+clickAdd a marker
Alt+clickDelete a marker
[ / ]Nudge the selected marker
Shift+[ / ]Move every marker in scope together
Alt+[ / ]Fine step (10 ms), with or without Shift
⌘ZUndo marker edits
⌘FFreeze / unfreeze markers in the selection
⌘A / ⌘⇧ASelect the whole range / clear the selection
EscClear the tool selection, then back out
+Focus the waveform, then zoom in
-Zoom out of the focused waveform
PgUp / PgDnPan the focused waveform

Working with the chops themselves, in the list or the Video Keyboard:

KeysAction
Arrow keysMove the selection
DeleteDelete the selected chop
/Star the selected chop
EscReturn to video selection

In Trim there are no markers, so the brackets move whichever endpoint is selected and \ swaps which endpoint they aim at.

In Draft mode, Enter keeps the chop you just played and Delete passes on it.

Capture editor

KeysAction
SpacePlay or pause the preview
Shift+SpaceAudition the loop seam
Option+← / →Step the loop end to a material boundary
Shift+Option+← / →Step the loop start
[ / ]Nudge the selected triggers
DeleteDelete the selected triggers
⌘DDuplicate the selected triggers
⌘Z / ⌘⇧ZUndo / redo
Space or EnterPlay a focused created-clip card
EscStop the preview; press twice to close

Selected clip

KeysAction
Shift+/Open the clip editor
Shift+,Cycle the clip’s stem
Shift+\Start quick crop
SpacePlay or pause the edit preview
SpaceTap a quick-crop boundary
EnterSave the quick crop
?Star the selected clip (clip list)

MIDI

Plug in a class-compliant controller and pads map to notes. Knobs and buttons bind to app controls through Settings → Shortcuts & MIDI, where you can also choose a preferred device or listen on all devices and channels.

Keyboard and MIDI placements are independent, so one chop can hold both. See the pad mapper for placing them.
