Hi there
Newbie looking at the Congo Jr. I am trying to work with both the PC desktop and Mac OSX laptop off line editor.
Trying to work with the syntax... having some troubles...
(I understand that a laptop keyboard is difficult to use...)

Wondering if some screen shots with the corresponding shortcuts be posted?
IE: How does one access the off line encoders?

These visuals would be very helpful

Thanks

Currently, there are no images of the keyboard layout. Have you found the physical console button/offline button mapping table? See below for the most recent table.

Most of the console buttons have a corresponding keyboard hotkey (like P for PRESET, S for SEQ etc.).

So, essentially, the offline keyboard behaves exactly like the console (including button combinations like SEQ & PLAYBACK) once you know the console button keyboard equivalents.

Hope this helps!

Off line encoders: I assume that you mean how to control the parameter wheels in the Moving Lights dock, correct? Just drag the wheels with the mouse.

Current Keyboard hotkeys

On a Macintosh, use Command instead of Ctrl.

In case you haven't already found this, to open up the Moving Light dock, hold [SETUP] and press [BROWSER]
(Or hold F11, hit F10 on a PC keyboard.)

Then select "Moving Lights" from either the Top or Bottom dropdown lists, and click on "OK"

You'll then get a Moving Light dock at the top or bottom of the screen that has click'n'draggable encoder wheels, clickable wheel keys plus a few others, encoder function displays, and a CMY colour picker. 

Keep on trying till you run out of cake.

If Offline is to be a commonly used item for you - consider buying an Xkeys keyboard

www.ymouse.com

and using the overlay and drivers that Sarah has posted here

I use a second vga monitor and run congo with wyg which works wonders, I can see exactly what my desk is doing with the second mon, this makes life much easier to to desk and stage with out swapping tabs in windows.
