PPM Key Settings Menu
This menu is used to define the keys that will be available in the instrument's and the local Control Bar and to define the routing of the global keyboard.
Please note:
The keys shown in this menu do not affect the instrument's appearance directly. Instead of that, they determine whether or not a key will be available in the instrument's specific Control Bar, specific keyboard, or the "Global Keyboard" instrument. All keys switched to "on" in the Control Bar section will appear in the Control Bar of this instrument. All keys switched to "on" in the Keyboard section will appear in the screen keyboard of this instrument. In the "Global Keyboard" section, individual instrument key functions can be assigned to keys defined in the Global Keyboard instrument.
All keys set to "on" in this section will be available in the Control Bar of the PPM instrument.
• Gain
This key is used to temporarily increase the PPM instrument’s input gain by 20 or 40 dB (depending on the selected scale). If you use one of the True Peak scales (TP60 or TP20), this key is not available.

This section is used to assign individual instrument functions to Global Keyboard keys. In this way, one single Global Keyboard key can control functions of several instruments even if they are placed in different Audio Groups. Also, using the Global Keyboard, instrument keys can be controlled externally using the GPIO interface of the TouchMonitor. To assign an instrument key to a Global Keyboard key, first select that instrument key in the "Global Keyboard" section. Then, assign it to one of the available Global Keyboard keys in the "Selection" area.
Please note:
The keys in this section will be available only after the "Global Keyboard" instrument was created in the Non-Audio Group before. Also, at least one key must be set to the "Instrument" key function mode in the Global Keyboard instrument's menu.
