Update April 2023 – EN

As the audio control panels require a lot of inputs and outputs, while most of them are not supported in the simulator I kept these panels as one of the last designs to work on.But after assigning most of the other inputs and outputs I noticed that there might be some left to also connect … More Update April 2023 – EN
