Features

Studio 64's HotKeys are a great way to have your frequently played carts always loaded and ready to go at a single click. Add our USB HotBox and you've got 42 buttons of instant HotKey playback plus 16 more for quick access to other important system functions.

There's no limit to the number of HotKey groups you may predefine for quick loading. Each jock can have all the Jingles, Liners, Promos, Beds or whatever he or she needs instantly available. It's great for morning shows, ball games or any fast paced format.

HotKeys can play two carts at once while Studio 64 simultaneously records and plays other carts. Studio 64 may be configured so the HotKeys have their own pot on the console for greater control. For utmost flexibility, add the USB HotBox and get 58 actual pushbuttons with room for labels.
