Navigating SPACE HUB Control
- SPACE HUB Control is divided into three key areas:
Top Toolbar
Workspace
Bottom Toolbar
Top and Bottom Toolbar are always visible, while the Workspace changes depending on which page is currently selected.
Top Toolbar
The Top Toolbar is used to switch the Workspace between different pages. The current selection is highlighted in RED. Switching between pages can also be achieved with a keyboard shortcut by pressing the corresponding number (from left to right: Object View = 1).
Additionally the Top Toolbar displays system status (active network connections) and hosts the File Menu. Use the File Menu to perform the following actions:
New create a new project
Open load an existing project
Open Recent load a project from a list of recently opened projects
Save save current state and overwrite selected project
Save As save current state as a new project
Export to KLANG send the Speaker positions to KLANG in order to integrate with a KLANG processor
Meters Window open the meters window
Mixer Window open the mixer window
Filter
Directly below the top toolbar, in pages with list elements (Object, Snapshots, Orbits, Reverb), there is a Filter input field. Here you can filter for the particular group of list elements that you want to work with. For example, if you type “viol” in the Filter field of the Object View, the Objects displayed might be “Violas, Violin 1, Violin 2”
Bottom Toolbar
The Bottom Toolbar contains tools relevant to the SPACE HUB Control Windows and displays extra information about the show’s status (MTC, Snapshot).
Clear Link clears the link between selected stereo Objects
Hide removes from the Object list any Objects which have their own ‘Hide’ buttons selected
Solo a global Solo button. When a number of Objects are set to Solo, this button will toggle the Solo state of all these Objects.
|< sets an Object back to the start of its Orbit trajectory when it is playing
Play when selected, starts to play all Objects that have selected Orbits and whose own Play butons are selected.
xxx bpm an internal beat rate (beats per minute). The rate indicates the rate at which random Orbit trajectory steps are generated and followed.
The Button in the center of of the Bottom Toolbar switches the User Interface between Day Mode and Night Mode.
The following buttons provide global access to snaphots, enabling quick retrieval regardless of the current context:
Save saves the current state of all Objects in the currently selected snapshot
Load loads the state of the currently selected snapshot to all Objects
<< selects and loads the previous snapshot in the snapshot list as the current snapshot
>> selects and loads the following snapshot in the snapshot list as the current snapshot
The Zoom Slider on the right side of the Bottom Toolbar alters the Panning Area (the Pinch Gesture on a Trackpad works as well).
