bus is a mono bus, there are no pan knobs associated with the input chan-
nels.
The interior of the Matrix is composed of a large number of square cross-
point assign tiles. The Matrix is too wide to fit completely within the MIO
Console window; you may use the scrollbar that appears at the bottom of
the Matrix to scroll the remaining DAW channels into view.
Each crosspoint assign tile indicates whether or not the input channel at the
top of the column is assigned to the mix bus at the edge of the row. If the tile
is filled in, the channel is assigned to the mix, and the controls for that chan-
nel will appear in the associated mixer. If the crosspoint tile is not filled in,
the channel is not assigned to the mix, and the controls will not appear. The
channel will be muted and un-soloed on the associated mix bus.
Stereo pairs are automatically assigned as a group to busses.
There are some keyboard shortcuts that you can use when making Matrix
assignments:
• clicking in one tile, followed by -clicking in another tile will
automatically select or deselect all of the tiles in between the end-
points; the selection will match the new state of the tile at the second
click location
• clicking and dragging in the Matrix will continuously apply the new
assignment state to each tile you drag over
• -click dragging will scroll the Matrix

MIO Console has fully user configurable channel names. The names that
you select for your channels will propagate to all of the other aspects of the
MIO Console user interface. Due to limitations in the ASIO specification,
the channel names will not propagate to your ASIO applications.
This allows you to name the channels in meaningful ways. The analog inputs
can be named to match the sources. The Digital I/O can be named to match
the effects device that you have patched. Mixes can be named by the fold-
back monitor or effects send that they will feed.
