The zoom/scroll shortcuts (especially with the use of the modwheel) are one of the biggest workflow issue when working often on several softwares. Being able to configure that is a must, in my opinion, to make every software match those behaviors. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be configurable on FMOD.

You can configure the pure keyboard shortcuts to zoom in and out in the “Shortcuts” tab of the preferences dialog. (They’re right at the bottom of the list, and are set to “[” and “]” by default.)

You can configure the key used to zoom in conjunction with the mouse wheel in the “Interface” tab, under the “Scrolling the mouse wheel in the multitrack view” setting category. That being said, the options in this category are limited, so I can see how you might find them limiting. Is there some specific modifier key you want to use in conjunction with the mouse wheel that isn’t currently available?

Oh, that’s great, I didn’t see this menu in the “interface” tab. Now it’s perfect, thanks 😉

It would be nice also if we had the option to invert the scroll direction!

Have you tried changing the “mouse input mode” in the “interface” tab of the preferences dialog? “Absolute” mode can result in different scroll directions on some operating systems, as it uses the operating system’s native scroll direction behavior.

Thanks for the tip! It seems that Absolute mode is giving me the same results on Windows 10 with Studio version 2.02.24. I think the option might be useful still if, say you wanted the zoom direction to remain the same but the horizontal scroll to invert. Super minor thing though for sure. 🙂

I’ll add this suggestion to our feature and improvement tracker.
