Panels
Panels are the control surfaces on which you arrange and use your items.
Your control surface
Bring the controls for a task together.
A panel provides the space for buttons, sliders, rotary controls, labels, and other items. You decide which controls belong together and where they appear. This allows each panel to match a specific part of your workflow.
You can create and use multiple panels. A focused panel is often easier to operate than one surface containing every available control.
Arrange freelyPlace the items you need where they are easy to find and operate.
Separate tasksUse different panels for distinct parts of a larger workflow.
Work at any scaleZoom and pan across panels with sizes suited to your setup.
How the parts fit together
Panels organize items. Scenes organize complete setups.
Items control and display
They send commands, react to events, and show information on a panel.
About items →Panels create structure
They arrange related items into control surfaces for different tasks.
Panel size and navigation
Use the space your controls require.
Panels are not limited to the visible screen area. Zoom gives you an overview or a closer look at individual controls. Pan lets you move across a larger panel while arranging or using its contents.
Keep operation focused.
Create separate panels when controls serve clearly different tasks. This reduces searching during live operation.
