The Layer Selector is fixed directly left of the dashboard.
The dashboard settings reflect the active selection in reference to the selected layer.
To make a layer selection, select the icon in the Layer Selector representing the layer you would like to select. (Cymatic, Bank, Palette, Global)
By default, touching the palette name (top left) will select the palette layer and that palette’s settings, touching a bank name will select the bank layer and that bank’s settings, and touching a cymatic will select the cymatic layer and that Cymatic’s settings.
Layer Lock freezes the dashboard to a particular layer. This makes it easy to toggle settings on a “higher layer” while continuing to play cymatics (which without Layer Lock would select the cymatic layer and display the selected cymatic’ settings in the dashboard).
