Now you can strobe the invert effect at different rates. Set the range of the second shortcut to 0 and 0.1. Set the range of the first shortcut to 0 and 0.05. Let's set both keys to Toggle Mode, with Piano turned on. Now each shortcut key can have different settings. By clicking one of them, it becomes selected and you can change it to whatever you like, just by pressing a different key.

You will see that ] is now used twice as a shortcut for rotation. Simply select the shortcut, right click it and select 'Duplicate Shortcut'. Multiple shortcuts are especially awesome! You can assign more than one shortcut to a parameter. This is great for resetting a parameter to a certain value. So pressing ] will set the Opacity of the Invert RGB to 0.10, regardless of what it was set to before. In Value mode, you can use the keyboard to set a slider to a specific value. In the shortcuts panel, you can change the Mode from Toggle to Value. Instead of just toggling, a button can also be used to set a slider directly to a specific value. In this mode, you also have the Piano option. After you exit Shortcut mode, you can now hit the ] key to strobe the clip with 10% opacity and off again. You can either drag the in and out point with the mouse, or click the values and enter them numerically. With the Range option, you can see what values the slider should jump to when the button is pressed and released. You're now assigning a button shortcut to a slider, and a slider has more values than just on and off. The biggest one is a big slider called "Range". You will see new options appear in the Shortcuts tab. Now go into Shortcuts mode, and assign a shortcut to the Opacity of the Invert RGB effect. You can now strobe the inverted clip, using the Opacity parameter to control the rate. Leave all its parameters alone, but just change the effect's Blend Mode to TimeSwitcher. Let's first set up a fun parameter to play with. You can get even further down the rabbit hole when you assign a button shortcut to a slider parameter. This will let you turn the control OFF while the button is held, and ON when released. Once you enable Piano mode for a shortcut, you also get the option to Invert. If you prefer, you can call this option Momentary or Flash or whatever floats your boat.

Piano is easy to remember and reminds you that you're playing an instrument. "But Resolume, that's not how a piano works at all!" Yes, you're right. All buttons in Resolume can be set to Piano mode, which means that they will be on for as long as you hold the key down, and turn off when you release the key again. Still, it has one option, namely "Piano". The Composition Bypass is a very basic control, it can either be on or off. You can also choose different options for your selected control. In this tab, you can see all your keyboard shortcuts in a handy list. This tab is only visible while you're in Shortcuts mode. In the bottom right of the interface, you'll see the Shortcuts tab. Go back into Keyboard Shortcut mode, and select the Composition Bypass again. Press the Escape key to exit the Shortcut mode, and you can now bash that spacebar to toggle the Composition Bypass on and off. Now press the spacebar, and voila, you've assigned your first shortcut! If the Bypass button was big enough, you could even read it had the spacebar assigned to it. So find the Composition Bypass button in the top left of the interface and click on it with the mouse. Shortcut-ception! ToggleĮverything blue can have a shortcut assigned to it. You can also use CTRL-SHIFT-K as a shortcut to enter Shortcut mode. The interface will now turn partially blue. You create shortcuts by opening the Shortcuts menu, and choosing which protocol you want to create a shortcut for. This is useful as a sort of panic button ("oh no, get it off mah screen!"), or to create tension before a big drop. So when we press spacebar, the whole output should go black. We want the spacebar to be a blackout button. Let's start with a simple keyboard shortcut. If you're running Arena, you can also use DMX input from a lighting desk. Resolume supports external control via your computer keyboard, MIDI controllers and OSC messages. Except this time, you get to decide what the shortcuts are. Sort of like how CTRL-C and CTRL-V are shortcuts for copy-pasting. You use shortcuts to assign a button on your computer keyboard or MIDI controller to a control in Resolume. Sometimes, you want an exact thing to happen at an exact moment, without having to scroll and search for it with the mouse. But during a live performance, you'll want to have more control than what the mouse can offer. You can access every parameter and set it with precision. Controlling Resolume with the mouse is great.
