User Buttons
The six sequentially numbered User buttons are user-defined quick keys that change operation depending on the mode and function in combination with other button groups. For example, a re- recording mix engineer performs different tasks than the ADR engineer, so each professional would set up the User buttons to give them easy access to the functions and modes they need most for their workflow. User buttons can be used alone, or in combination with other buttons for specific functions and workflows.
User buttons
At the time of this writing, the User buttons are mapped to six User sets, including Edit, Mix, Record, Views, Setup, and a blank unassigned User set. Each of the six User Sets is then mapped to additional menu layouts each with six menu options related to that set. User button quick menus offer fast mouse-free two-handed editing options, like those available in the Fairlight Audio Editor. The difference is that you look at the Quick Menu dialog on the computer screen to see which functions are assigned to the User buttons instead of the labels on the console keys.
The current User Button Quick Menus are an early incarnation of this feature and will undergo visual GUI improvements and enhanced functionality in future updates.
Working with the User Buttons and the Quick Menu Dialog
The Quick Menu is a dialog in the Fairlight page user interface that you can show or hide by holding Zoom and pressing any of the User buttons. What makes the Quick Menu dialog unique is its 2x3 grid design containing six user-defined buttons that can be toggled from the corresponding User buttons on the Desktop Console. To select an option from the Quick Menu, once you’ve chosen the desired User Set page, you simply press the User button that corresponds to the function you need. This innovative physical button-to-dialog button relationship makes it easy to learn the quick menus and functions as well as build lightning-fast muscle memory to trigger the actions while you work.

NOTE: The Quick Menu dialog can be moved anywhere on the Fairlight page interface, so you can see it at a glance, without obstructing view or workflow.

User Button and Quick Menu Functional Overview
The default Quick Menu layout is Edit, however you can change the layout anytime by pressing the appropriate modifier keys along with the corresponding User button. For ease of operation, you use the Zoom button to show or hide the Quick Menu, and the modifier keys to change layouts. It requires two modifier keys (ALT+CTL) to change to a different User set, and one modifier (ALT) to
select a different submenu layout within the current User Set. This is similar to using a mouse to open a submenu in the Fairlight Page interface, or pressing Menu keys to reveal Menu Option keys on the Fairlight Audio Editor. Once you have selected a Quick Menu layout, such as Edit - Basic, you can then engage any of the six actions by pressing the corresponding User button. User Button layouts are identified by the name in the Quick Menu header. Hyphenated names represent the current User Set followed by the submenu layout. For example, EDIT - BASIC identifies the Edit User Set showing the Basic submenu layout of six different Edit actions that can be engaged by pressing the corresponding User button.

NOTE: Quick Menu buttons that are blank have not been mapped to a function. The Edit Blank layout is the default User set when engaging the User Button layouts for the first time. With this layout, none of the User buttons are assigned to actions, and therefore, new users can avoid accidentally applying editing actions to the Timeline.

Some of the other soft keys in this menu control additional
Loop Jog parameters.
— Width:80: Press User 6 and turn the dial to sets the width for the Loop Jog in milliseconds between 5ms and 2000ms. This is the amount of audio that is repeated in each loop.
The default width is 80ms.
— Talkback: This Setup layout offers three options to customize the Desktop Console Talkback functionality.
— Smart Talk/Push-2 Talk: Press User 1 to toggle between the default unlatched Smart Talk option and the latched Push-2-Talk option. Smart Talk allows the user to either latch the Talk button for extended hands-free talkback, or Push-2-Talk with a momentary press on the Talk button. Latching this key toggles on the Push-2-Talk mode, which limits talkback to the momentary-press Push-2-Talk method similar to using a 2-way radio.
— GPI>None/Talk/DIM: Press User 2 to toggle the Monitoring Controls for the general purpose input (GPI) between None, Talk plus DIM, or DIM only.
— None/Talk/Armed/Record>GPO: Press User 3 to determine when the general purpose output (GPO) sends a signal during a session. This Quick Menu button toggles between Talk, None, Armed and Record.
— Console: This Setup layout offers four options to customize the console functionality.
— Mixer Link: Press User 1 to toggle Mixer Link on/off. When Mixer Link is on, the DaVinci Resolve Mixer GUI will scroll any newly selected tracks into view.
