This gives the processing overview for up to 8 channels at once, with the selected
channel highlighted. The view will automatically change if a channel is selected which
is out of view, though you can also touch and drag to see all channels in the current
layer.
The currently selected mix channel is displayed to the far right.
• Touch a channel name to rename or change channel colour.

naming of multiple channels.
• Touch any processing ‘block’ to view and adjust it in detail. The channel overview
will continue to be shown at the left of the screen. Selecting another channel of
the same type will allow you to adjust the same parameters on the newly selected
channel.
