Configure single- and double-tap actions for the PUSH button¶
Configure what happens when you tap or double-tap the wheel (PUSH button) in the AetherControl dialog. This lets you quickly change frequency step, switch bands, toggle functions, or run CWX macros without reaching for the mouse.
Before you start¶
- Open the AetherControl dialog:
Settings > AetherControl...
Steps¶
- Locate the Push (action) combo box. This sets the single-tap action.
- Click the combo box and select the desired action from the list.
- Locate the Double-tap (action) combo box directly below. This sets the double-tap action.
- Click the combo box and select the desired action from the list.
- Close the dialog. Changes are saved automatically.

New in v26.6.3¶
- Slice Audio Volume (
WheelSliceAudio): Adjusts the audio volume of the active slice independently from the master volume. This action was added to the available action list in v26.6.3.
Tips¶
- Use a wheel action (Tune Slice, Master Volume, etc.) for single-tap and a one-shot action (Step Up, Band Zoom, etc.) for double-tap for complementary behavior.
- The double-tap guard time is 230 ms. Tap twice within that window to trigger the double-tap action.
- Double-click the virtual wheel to capture or release circular tuning using the mouse or trackpad. Press Escape as an alternative release. The capture hint label at the bottom of the dialog now reads "Double-click the knob to capture circular tuning."
