Panel

A schematic of the panel: the 15 white keys with the effects, the chaos key and the
finalizer; above them the 10 dark keys with the blank scene, scenes 1-4, save, copy and
delete; behind them the mode switch, CHOMPI, knobs 1-4, the transport knob, PLAY, LOOP and
VOLUME; and the jacks

On the play page (the mode switch down), the controls are:
