Using the Virtual Touchscreen Application
How to use the Virtual Touchscreen depends on the device it is displayed on. If using a Touchscreen,
you can use your finger to touch a button control (activate a preset), slide a virtual fader (change a
channel intensity), or navigate between pages in the configuration. Each function is accomplished just
as you would when using a Paradigm Touchscreen.
When using a standard computer display, use a connected mouse to click buttons, slide faders, etc.
With the Virtual Touchscreen configuration displayed, through context menus you can do the following:
• Show Setup, or press (Control) + O for PC or (Command) + O for Mac, opens the Paradigm VTS
client application window. See “Show Setup” on page 5.
• Toggle Fullscreen, or press (F11) for PC or (Command) + F11 for Mac, changes the way the Virtual
Touchscreen is displayed on the display or touchscreen, filling the entire available space.
• Always stay on top - sets the Virtual Touchscreen behavior when other applications are run on the
host computer. When selected, the Virtual Touchscreen will always float on top of all other
application windows.
• Disconnect - disconnects the Virtual Touchscreen by closing the configuration but maintains the
Paradigm VTS client application open for selection of another configuration, if any.
• Quit - closes the Paradigm VTS client application.
