The Cell Matrix is BATTERY's central interface for viewing and editing the content of a Kit. It
consists of up to 128 cells that are arranged in a flexible number of rows (maximum of eight) and
columns (maximum of 16).
Each cell can contain a maximum of 128 samples. If a cell contains multiple samples, they can
either be layered and played at once, or assigned to different velocity layers. For more information
