+# channels
+
+The "Channels" dialog allows manipulation of the song's channels.
+
+![channels dialog](channels.png)
+
+Each channel has the following options:
+- "Visible": uncheck the box to hide the channel from view. Pattern data will be kept.
+- Crossed-arrows button: Click and drag to rearrange pattern data throughout the song. _Note:_ This does **not** move channels around within a chip! It only affects pattern data.
+- "Name" is the name displayed at the top of each channel in the tracker view.
+- To the right of that is the abbreviation used above each channel in the order view.

+# oscilloscope (per channel)
+
+The "Oscilloscope (per channel)" dialog shows an individual oscilloscope for each channel during playback.
+
+![oscilloscope per-channel configuration view](chanosc.png)
+
+Right-clicking within the view will change it to the configuration view shown above:
+- "Columns" sets the number of columns the view will be split into.
+- "Size (ms)" sets what length of audio is visible in each oscilloscope.
+- "Center waveform" does its best to latch to the channel's note frequency and centers the display.
+- "Gradient" is presently unimplemented.
+- The color selector allows setting the waveform color. Right-clicking on it pops up an option dialog:
+  - Select between the square selector and the color wheel selector.
+  - "Alpha bar" adds a transparency selector.
+- The boxes below that are for selecting colors numerically by red-green-blue-alpha, hue-saturation-value-alpha, and HTML-style RGBA in hex.
+- The OK button returns from options view to regular.

+# compatibility flags
+
+The "Compatibility Flags" window contains several tabs full of settings that change aspects of tracking and playback. A new Furnace file will leave them all at their defaults (off), while opening a DefleMask, Amiga MOD, or earlier Furnace file will automatically set the appropriate options.
+
+Hovering over most options will bring up additional info about them. It's not recommended to change any of these without clear reason. _There be dragons here._

+"Master Volume" controls the overall mix.

+- "Invert" flips the output wave.
+- "Volume" controls the chip's volume relative to other chips.
+- "Panning" is for left-right control.

+
+![mixer dialog on patchbay tab](mixer-patchbay.png)

+- "Automatic patchbay" will make appropriate connections when adding, removing, or changing chips and chip settings.
+- "Display hidden ports" shows all available connection ports. The "System" unit actually has 16 ports; 1 maps to the left channel, and 2 maps to the right.
+- "Display internal" shows two additional units, one for sample previews and one for the metronome sound.
+
+The graph shows each existing unit along with their outputs, inputs, and the "patch cables" connecting them. Connections can be made by dragging between an output and an input. Right-clicking on a unit gives the option to disconnect all patches from that unit.
