F10: Erase/Mute [SOLVED]

Isn't pressing the "F10" key supposed to cycle through the MUTE and ERASE buttons?  Or am I misunderstanding the help files?


EDIT:  Evidently, F10 was disabling all of my Smart Tools Function keys.  The function keys F5-F9 would work until you pressed the F10 key.  After that key was pressed, none would work.


I finally tracked down the problem as coming from importing my keybindings from my X1 installation.  There was no reference to the F10 in my old key bindings but zapping all keybindings, closing SONAR, reopening SONAR and importing the default keybindings for X2 enabled the F10 key.

F10 changes to and then cycles the mute/erase tool. F5 to get back to the smart tool.

Not cycling here for some reason.  I wonder what the issue could be.

Reassigned keyboard shortcut possibly or even a dodgy key? That's caught me out more than once.

Wow you're quick on the keyboard today Bill.....

F Lock on the keyboard?

Dave. Were you reassigning those keys for your mackie controller? I thought I remember something like that recently

The Mackie MCU also has function keys and that is what I was referring to in a recent post. I wouldn't think that it's function keys would interfere with the QWERTY keyboard function keys but it's worth experimenting with because some of those keys aren't working as expected as well.


For anyone who reads this, my QWERTY keyboard function keys work as expected except for F5-F10.

Dave, have you tried rebinding them to the defaults to see if that makes them stick?

In regards to the MCU or the QWERTY?  The QWERTY was never keybound to other than factory settings.

Glad you found it Dave. Rock On

Thanks for the update Dave.  Think you could submit a problem report and attach your X1 Keybindings file?  That'll help us figure out what went wrong and better prepare us to help other customers.
