• functions and actions are chosen in the menu

Double click with the left mouse button:
• knobs and sliders are set back to their standard positions
• titles can be imported
• files can be opened

Press left mouse button + further actions:
• knobs and sliders can be turned and moved
• audio files can be dragged and dropped or imported
• scroll bars can be shifted

Single-click with right mouse button (right-click):
• knobs and sliders are set back to their standard positions
• menus and further functions can be opened
• all knobs and sliders can be turned and moved

The use of all elements will be explained in more detail later on.

### Main keyboard functions

The keyboard is used to extend the functions, which are attainable with the mouse. In addition, shortcuts allow you to get to the most important functions. This makes the use of UltraMixer more efficient and faster.

Shortcut Rules:
• Ctrl is responsible for the left side of UltraMixer.
• Shift is responsible for the right side of UltraMixer.

Additionally, there are some keys, whose functions can be adjusted in the “Preferences”.

The standard shortcuts will be explained in the appropriate chapters.
