Notice

Dreamtonics has released a comprehensive official user manual along with version 1.11.0 of Synthesizer V Studio; this unofficial manual will no longer be maintained. Please visit the Official User Manual for all future updates and information.

Default Keybinds

Most keybinds in Synthesizer V Studio map directly to one of the functions accessible via the menus at the top of the application, and are labelled according to their location. Since user scripts also appear in the top menus, this means many custom functions can also be assigned a hotkey.

A function's associated keybind will be displayed to its right in dropdown and right-click menus.

Keyboard shortcuts can be modified at the bottom of the Settings panel.

Default Keyboard Shortcuts

While all options under the top menus can be assigned a hotkey, only those that have a default keybind have been listed here.
