A second press of the button either closes the Transport Display or makes it inactive in the software. FADERS This button either enables or disables the faders from writing or reading automation sequences. Fader automation is commonly used for creating automatic level adjustments throughout a section of audio, and Baby HUI's faders can be used for this purpose when this mode is activated. MEM LOC Pressing this button opens the Memory Locator Display in your software. This can be helpful in accessing and labeling/numbering specific location points within a given piece of music or audio. A second press of the button either closes the Memory Locator Display or renders it inactive in the software. User's Guide 7 Baby HUI TRANSPORT MEM LOC UNDO Utility Section There are two buttons in this section -- UNDO and the SHIFT Modifier. MIXER EDIT UNDO SHIFT MIXER Pressing this button opens the Mixer Display in your software. You will notice that the screen has channel strips that all follow the movements of Baby HUI's controls. Thus, you can use the Mixer Display to verify that the software is "seeing" your controls and reacting correctly to your use of Baby HUI. A second press of the button either closes the Mixer Display or makes it inactive in the software. This is a single button undo command that tells the software to undo the last thing you did. This button performs the same common keyboard commands CTRL+Z (for PCs) or APPLE+Z (for Macs). The first push of Baby HUI's Undo Button will undo the last command, and a second push will redo the last command. TIP: Use Undo/Redo right after an automation pass to make a quick A/B comparison of your moves and save yourself the time of going back later. SHIFT This is the one button on Baby HUI that requires some understanding to use correctly. The SHIFT button is a "Modifier, " which means it is used in conjunction with other buttons and knobs on Baby HUI. Only when held down and another parameter is activated does the Shift function take place. Notice the label of the SHIFT Button has the text "SHIFT" enclosed in a white box. The white box labeling is a visual association to all of Baby HUI's shift-supported controls. So, by holding down the SHIFT button and pressing a shift-supported control, you engage the function labeled in the corresponding white box underneath that control. To disable a shift-supported function, simply hold down the SHIFT button and press the control associated with that function. Below is a chart of what happens when you hold down the SHIFT button and engage the listed controls: EDIT Pressing this button opens the Edit Display in your software. Most software Edit Displays have their tracks laid out horizontally, with track headers along the left hand side of the screen, a virtual "playback head" (usually represented by a vertical line) crosses from left to right across the screen as the transport is used, giving the interface a tape deck-style look. TIP: The tracks in the Edit Display have modes that can be set to display different information, i. e. , recorded data, track volume, panning, etc. To help you use Baby HUI, we recommend using the level/volume data display as a visual accompaniment to writing automation with Baby HUI's faders. You will "see" the movements you make with Baby HUI either in real time or calculated after the automation pass, depending on your software and computer's resources.
