I spent a whole day at work sketching and making notes and finally made a great set of global view presets to use that really fit my workflow. Got home and went to implement it and found out I’d lost it. Got frustrated and didn’t bother with it again.
Anyway, how do you guys have your global view presets set up?
the only one i use is global view preset#1, which is disk browser in expanded mode in sample mode. that’s all. lower frame is hidden.
the rest are scripted.
I have no use for other views than normal tracker view, sample editor and disk browser. Lower frame is always visible. Upper frame hidden on disk browser.
I don’t. I’ve set up shortcuts for the Show/Focus XYZ are of Renoise instead.
FOUND MY NOTES! YES!
What do you use for these? I’m curious.
Can’t remember offhand (haven’t done regular tracking for ages!) but I can try and have a look at my install and its shortcuts when home, but pretty sure it was either Shift+Alt or Ctrl+Alt plus an obvious letter. All using the same two modifier combination. Unfortunately no matter which I chose there were conflicts with default shortcuts in places, which I either reprogrammed to something new (a lot of the time Shift+Alt+Letter would be used but Ctrl+Alt+Letter wouldn’t or the other way around so I could swap one of the other.)
Assuming it was Shift+Alt (which I seem to remember it was) these would be typical.
Shift+Alt+M - Mixer
Shift+Alt+P - Pattern editor
Shift+Alt+X - matriX
Shift+Alt+S - Sample editor
Shift+Alt+D - Dsp lane
Shift+Alt+A - Automation
Shift+Alt+Q - seQuence editor
Not sure they’re 100% correct. Tried to generally keep the letter to the left side of the keyboard so it’s easily reached with one hand.
Well first I used the defaults, and only F1/F3/F5 really, F6 rarely. Now I’m on a laptop with limited vert reso (i.e. 1366x768) so I just made a tool to speed up workflow… “Best Views” (d/l)
so my setup is right now:
F1-F4: Pattern Editor, Mixer, Sample Editor (!), Sample Keyzones (if it’s already there will cycle either top or bottom view, or hide both)
F5: Focus Sequencer (annoyingly can’t give focus back to main screen with same key 
)
F6: Show/Hide top frame
F7: Show/Hide bottom frame
Alt+NumPadDiv/Times: Cycle top frame left/right
Alt+NumPadPlus/Minus: Cycle bottom frame left/right (keys are left/right from eachother on my laptop)
Apps(context menu button): Focus Pattern Matrix / Focus Pattern Editor
That’s rad as hell. I might utilize your tool in the near future, because I always wanted to have a key for cycling through the top and bottom zones.
