N o t e :
By default, the patch display lists channels on the X axis and device attributes on the Y axis. In this
view the channels are sorted numerically with the address in the second column. In the "patch by
channel" display, the command line entry defaults to selecting channels. To specify an address in
this mode, use the {Address} field shown in the CIA or press [At] after the channel entry.
