Here are some "secret" keyboard shortcuts in Maxi-Patch:



Hit these keys:



0) The "esc" escape key: This is crucial. It toggles the final output mix between small-screen and full-screen mode. So if you're final output video mix is 320x240, but the dimensions of your projector (as 2nd monitor) are 1280x854, the "esc" key will force your final output video mix to fill the output monitor view perfectly... hitting "esc" again will return to small-screen mode..



1) The "A" key (capital "A"): This forces the video crossfader all the way to the left side.



2) The "B" key (capital "B"): This forces the video crossfader all the way to the right side.



3) The "C" key (capital "C"): This forces the video crossfader to exactly the middle.



4) The "a" key (small "a"): This starts the video crossfader moving gradually towards the left side... transition takes about 2-3 seconds.



5) The "b" key (small "b"): This starts the video crossfader moving towards the right side... transition takes about 2-3 seconds.



6) The "c" key (small "c"): This starts the video crossfader moving towards the middle... transition takes 2-3 seconds.



7) The "m" key (small "m"): This causes the video output mix mode to cycle through all of it's possible settings... cycles once for each time you hit the key.



Hope you like these... they are fun!

Are these fader controls also triggerable by midi?

Yes, Im interested in changing these, or using a midi device to control them-- is it possible?

Why not just map the video crossfader to a MIDI knob or slider?
This can easily be done by hitting the "more settings" button on the video mixer region. Then select "MIDI enable" and enter the controller channel and number in the little boxes. Easy, right?

Otherwise, I can look into adding the ability to map MIDI note numbers to the same functions as are now done with the "A", "B", "C" keys described previously in this thread..
