Cart wall

The Carts tab (⌃3): a strip of banks, 24 carts under the left hand of the keyboard, and what is sounding.

Each panel is a heading below, named as it is on screen (ADR-0070). Carts sound in the desk (ADR-0117): listeners, the presenter and the guests all hear them, the profanity delay holds them, and ⇧ with a key cues one into the presenters’ and DJs’ headphones only (see Carts in the desk). The demo banks are the repository’s demo pack, assets/carts-demo/: 50 openly licensed sounds (CC0, public domain or CC BY) in four suggested banks, with their credits in CREDITS.md and NOTICES.md. The files were cut to about −16 LUFS; like every cart, each is brought to the station’s cart loudness (carts.loudness_lufs, −23 LUFS by default) when it is loaded (The media worker).

carts.frame

Not drawn on the tab: the app’s own frame, studio.frame, is above every tab.

carts.wall

The bank strip over six by four carts. A cart’s place is its key: 1–6, Q–Y, A–H, Z–N.

A cart says	When
its key, its mode (one-shot, bed, sweeper), its name and its length, and its ramp to the vocal if it has one	idle
the time left in bold, playing, and a ring that empties	playing once
the same in amber, ending	under 5 s left
how long it has run, loop · playing, an ∞ ring	a bed, which loops until stopped
ducked −12 dB, and why	a bed on air while a microphone is open or a sweeper plays
CUE in violet, the time left, in your headphones	cued: the presenters and DJs hear it, nobody else does
fading	stopped, during its 300 ms fade
FILE MISSING and “Re-link it in the library. The key does nothing.”	its file is gone
empty and “No cart here yet. Upload one to fill this slot.”	an empty slot

Key	Does
a cart’s key	fires it; again, fades it out over 300 ms
Space	fades the cart started last on air (a cue is Esc’s)
⇧Space twice within 3 s	fades everything sounding
⌃F1–⌃F5	switches bank, on any tab but not from a text field (ADR-0104); what sounds keeps sounding
F1–F6	fires the current bank’s top row, on any tab (the desk’s glance)
arrows, then ⏎	moves between carts without firing, then fires
⇧ and a key	cues it in the presenter’s headphones (presenters’ and DJs’ only); again, takes it out
Esc	takes every cued cart out of the headphones

Letters fire only while the Carts tab has focus; no cart key, Space or ⌃F1–⌃F5 fires from a text field (ADR-0104).

carts.bank.1

Bank 1 (⌃F1). A bank’s colour is its slot in the cart palette, and its show keeps that colour everywhere (ADR-0066); the same for carts.bank.2 to carts.bank.5.

carts.bank.2

Bank 2 (⌃F2).

carts.bank.3

Bank 3 (⌃F3).

carts.bank.4

Bank 4 (⌃F4).

carts.bank.5

Bank 5 (⌃F5).

carts.sounding

Everything sounding, from any bank, with time left; the keys; and Fade all (⇧Space ⇧Space), which arms on the first press and says Fade all? with its countdown.
