Keyboard shortcuts

Use Cmd on macOS and Ctrl on Windows or Linux unless a row says otherwise.

Open System settings → Keyboard → Shortcuts to change a keyboard binding or assign a MIDI note or control-change message. Select a keyboard binding and press the new combination. For MIDI, choose MIDI Learn and then press a pad, key, or controller button. MIDI control-change bindings trigger when their value crosses 64 and reset when it falls below 64.

Reset all restores the defaults listed below. A shortcut can also be left unassigned.
