Available commands
Not all available acons in Nucoda and Phoenix are currently mapped, but most of the important funcons are
available for mapping. In the CC layer, the Mae and RGBM Curves tools are not currently mapped. All the DVO
Tools have been mapped, for some of the complex tools not all parameters are mapped, especially where “Basic”
sengs are available.
This guide only shows the commands needed for general operaon - the commands for the colour tools should
match their GUI counterparts and will be mapped to Kb, Bt1 and Tk - using dierent banks.
Installaon of the Panels
Installaon of the Element Panels is according to the instrucons included with the panels.
For use with Nucoda or Phoenix, be sure to select the Element Control Panel opon in the installer..
Once installed, please use the sengs tab in the Mapper to select the opon for each panel to switch it’s
own banks only.
User Preferences
When new modes and commands are added they will available in the mapper, but not always mapped.
The user will have the choice of mapping them manually to their exisng modied layout, or choose to use the
updated Defaults, which will of course ot have any custom preferences.
Control Sensivity
Except for menu selecons and the ball and ring for moving shapes, all controls are set to obey the global
sensivity contronls in the Mapper. File/Control Map Sengs... to change the sensivity of RIngs, Balls, Knobs
and the Jog dial, please do this here. You can also set it per control if desired
The default layout aempts put the most commonly used funcons and controls within easy reach of the user at
all mes. It is also designed to keep those controls available at all mes, to minimise menu switching. These are
persistent funcons and controls.
Eects are referred to in the Element Mapper as a Mode - you will see that each mode is mapped separately in the
mapper and the menus on some panels will change for every mode. The MF and Br-1 panels do not change when
modes are switched, these are persistent menus. The Tk, Kb and Bt2 panels have menus that will move down in the
bank order when modes are entered, wit the selected mode command at the top of the bank order.
The panels layouts are editable using the Tangent Mapper ulity and mulple users are managed by changing the
mapping seng in the Tangent Mapper. Changes to the mapper take immediate eect in the Nucoda or Phoenix
applicaon.
In the case where the Fake Key opon is used in the Tangent Mapper, ensure that the mapped hotkeys are updated
in the Mapper if they are changed in the Phoenix or Nucoda applicaon, there is a list of Hotkeys that are mapped at
the end of the document.
The default setup uses mulple banks for each panel. Move through dierent banks by pressing the (B) key on each
panel the (A) buon will sll access the “Alternate” funcons.
The dierence between the “Alternate” funcon and the banks, is that switching to another bank will leave the
panel display on that bank, while the “Alternate” funcon requires the user to hold the (A) buon down and the
make selecons.
The only panel that deviates from the (A) and (B) behaviour is the Trackball Panel (Tk), on this panel, the (B) buon
will step forward through available tools on the current layer. Holding down (A) while pressing (B) will step backwards
through the tools.
The numaric order for the tools can be changed in the TangentOrder.prefs le, in Root/Panel/Tangent. A value of zero
will mean the tool is ignored. The trackball panel (Tk) and navigaon panel (Mf) has dedicated Ball and Ring resets
above the balls and rings.

Sensivity sengs in Tangent Mapper applicaon
The trackballs and rings are automacally acve when a relevant tool is selected.
Their use is not only limited to colour tools.
In the shape tool, with a selected shape, they are mapped
Le Ball - Shape posion
Le Ring - Soness
Middle Ball - Scale X and Y
Ring - Scale
Right Ball- Not mapped
Right Ring - Rotate
In the Pan & Scan tool you can use the trackballs for posioning, rotaon and scaling.
Le Ball - Pan and Tilt
Le Ring - Scale image
Middle Ball - Scale X and Y
Ring - Rotate
Right Ball- Soness X and Y
Right Ring - Soness
Use the two reset keys to reset the ball and the ring.
Sensivity can be set in the Tangent mapper applicaon or each control
they are not mapped to .global sensivity.
The following seng are available in the general.prefs le
C:\Nucoda\Root\Users\All Users\general.prefs

trackballFineSpeed 10.000000
trackRingCoarseSpeed 50.000000

}
Changing these values will change the amount a colour control will change inside Nucoda
when the ball or wheel is used.
The defaults wil change values by .002
Changing the value from 50.000 to 100.0000 will cause the values to be changed by .004
