Xencelabs Quick Keys Setup

SECTION: Quick Keys Thank You
We appreciate you choosing Xencelabs. We spent countless hours with professional artists to co-design the details of the Xencelabs Quick Keys. As a result, we included more buttons for those artists who want to have easy access to a lot of short-cuts. With the Quick Keys, you can have up to 5 sets of 8 buttons making a total of 40 per application. We know that are a lot of buttons, so to help you remember them, we also included an OLED display that shows the function assigned to each button.
We also included a physical dial that is natural and easy to use. We also added a colored light ring underneath the dial to help you remember which setting is active. You can adjust the color and brightness in Settings (you can even turn it off if you prefer). The Quick Keys will turn off to save battery if it is not being used for a while and something that was important to many of our testers was the ability to change the sleep time. We made this easy to do in Settings.
At the center of it, all are the advances in the driver. With its modern and attractive interface, you can easily configure your Quick Keys in a way that works best for you.
Have fun exploring. We can’t wait to see what you create!
Best regards
The Xencelabs Team.
