Devices Panel

All connected hardware devices are grouped in the Devices Panel. Any kind of Audio, MIDI, OSC, Video devices can be created.

Each Device (which is internally a patch), can contain several pre-processing, like an EQ on a microphone input or MIDI channel transformations on connected controller.

Then just Drag & Drop those Devices onto the rack-input or the rack-output.

Note: Data and OSC devices can be easily used with the Binds. Note: See how to use binds in osc tutorial.
