Shift Menus

Certain buttons can trigger menus when pressed.

• Loop Button: Main shift menu

Main Shift Menu

When the shift button is pressed, some drum pads light up. Pressing these buttons perform common actions in FL Studio, including switching between windows. See Figure 1.

Drum Pads

• Top right [Purple]: Previous/next window (equivalent to pressing Shift+Tab / Tab on a computer keyboard)

• Top centre [Green]: Save project

• Bottom right [Dark blue]: Open plugin picker

1. Green: Switch to Playlist

2. Red: Switch to Channel rack

Other Controls

The pitch-bend wheel acts as a jog-wheel. Moving the pitch-bend wheel down navigates down/right. Moving it up navigates up/left.

Recording Options

This menu gives access to various recording options. The layout imitates that of FL Studio's recording options on the toolbar (in the default layout).

Top Row

1. Metronome.

2. Wait for input before starting recording.

3. Countdown before recording.

4. Overdub (blend) recording.

5. Loop recording.

Bottom Row

3. Step recording.

Where possible, the light will pulse if the mode is active. If more options are added to the API for these, I will update the script accordingly.

Debug Menu

This menu is only activated if the stop button is long pressed.

1. Manually initiate a crash.

2. Enter debug mode.

3. Begin the idle light show.
