CHANNEL
Each of the sixteen MIDI Channels within the Space Station have been allocated with a Current Value Screen,
Fader and four Switches.
Current Value Screen
Displays the Value for each Channel at all times, reflecting all MIDI changes.
Fader
Left click\drag, up/down to change current Value. Fader Values will be transmitted internally
and externally to adjust each Channel.

Remember: The type of Data sent depends on the current active Mixer

Switches
Each Channel has four switches, each of which functions differently.
Mute
Mutes the Volume of the current Channel.
Fetch
Recalls the current Channels last Held position (see Option Screen below).
Lock A
Locks the current Channel to Special A for Multi Fader movement (See below).
Lock B
Locks the current Channel to Special B for Multi Fader movement (See below).

SPECIAL
Channels A and B have been designed to adjust all Locked Faders.
Current Value Screen
Displays the current Value for each Special Channel.
Fader
Special Faders react slightly differently from the Channel Faders, enabling the movement of different Channel values.
Click Fader and drag up/down to move all Locked Channels. Special Faders may reach their maximum/minimum Value,
whilst the Locked Faders have not reached theirs. To enable more Fader movement simply release click,
and click again anywhere within the Special Faders path but not on the Fader itself.
This will define the Special Faders new position without moving any of the Locked Channels,
then move the Fader as before.

Remember: all of the Channel Faders can have different Values, the offsets between these
Values will be retained even after all of the Channels have been maximised or minimised.

Switches
Each Special Channel has two Switches.
Mute
Mutes the Volumes of all Locked Channels.
Fetch
Recalls the last Held positions of all Locked Channels.
