Enter Nyquist Command

Type the command as required. Enter on the keyboard moves the cursor to a new line.

Buttons

Click OK to confirm and apply the code. If the code you enter cannot be processed, an error message will appear with a hint about making a correction. If the code is processed, its text will be displayed next time you open Nyquist Prompt in the Audacity session. The code is lost after quitting Audacity, so you may want to copy any valuable code before quit.

To confirm and apply using the keyboard, hold Ctrl then press Enter on Windows, or hold Command then press Enter on Mac. On Linux, it may be best to Tab to the "Debug" button then press Enter.

  • Debug Button: This works similarly to how it does in all Nyquist effects. After clicking the Debug button, an uneditable window appears containing any text output that is produced by your command. Click OK to close the output window and process the command. Using the keyboard, Enter (preceded by Ctrl or Command if needed) will process the command.
