In 96kHz operation the top row of 16 meters is displayed with the bottom row greyed
out. When the USB sample rate is set to 48kHz, all 32 meters are shown.
When SQ-Drive is not being used, and during recording, the meters display the
outputs from the SQ that have been patched to USB channels. During playback the
meters instead show the incoming USB levels and are labelled with the highest
numbered channel to which they have been patched.

Meters for USB inputs and outputs can be seen simultaneously in the 'Meters/USB
meters' screen.
Recording –
Only USB channels that have been patched to will be recorded. So, to avoid using
disk space unnecessarily, patch only the required channels to USB in the I/O screen
and leave other USB output sockets unpatched.
