"Master Volume" controls the overall mix.
Each chip has several options:

- **Panning**: Left-right sound control.
- **Front/Rear**: Front-read sound control. Only useful for setups with four or more speakers.

The graph shows each existing unit along with their outputs, inputs, and the "patch cables" connecting them. Connections can be made by dragging between an output and an input. Right-clicking on a unit gives the option to disconnect all patches from that unit.
