Hot Keys Hot keys are used to fire off your commonly used tracks or jingles. Firing a hot key will load the track into a given hot key cart and play it immediately.

The control of the hot keys is via the 12 function keys or by clicking the mouse over the button. There are up to 12 banks of hot keys. Selection of a bank can be done from a click of the bank button, or holding down the shift key and pressing the appropriate function key.
Hot keys can be defined via a simple dialog and a given button can have a choice of colours and a simple label.

There is a special hot key called the Emergency Key. If you have a problem with your show and want to avoid dead air, just hit this key and a random selection of tracks from an emergency directory or category will be played. The cart used for the emergency is different from the normal hot key cart so you can change the settings to get the cart to loop on itself and continue to select tracks randomly to give you time to prepare tracks on other carts.
