Input List

Channels, stage boxes, snake routing, 48V, ⌘D

Input List is the channel list. Every signal feeding the console. Each row is one channel.

BUILDING IT:

The empty state asks "How many channels?". Pick 8 / 16 / 24 / 32 / 48 or type a custom number. Blank rows appear; type names. Tab moves right within a row, Enter on a row's name jumps to the next row's name. Backspace on an empty name deletes that row. ⌘D / Ctrl+D anywhere in a row duplicates it.

STAGE BOX ROUTING:

Click the Stage Box cell on any row to assign which snake/box that channel goes through. The dropdown shows: Unassigned · Local Inputs (yellow tape, built-in) · existing stage boxes · "+ New Stage Box…" (name + tape color). When you create a stage box from this dropdown, an item drops on the canvas at upstage automatically. Drag it to where the snake actually lands. Box Ch (next column) auto-suggests the next free local channel within that box; user-editable.

48V PHANTOM POWER:

The small 48V cell on each row auto-fills based on the mic field. Type "Beta 91a" or "C414" or "DI" → red 48V badge appears. Type "SM57" → it goes off. Click the badge to manually override.

SOURCE CATEGORIES:

Type a name like "Kick" or "Snare" or "Bass DI" → ATOM auto-detects the source category. Rows of the same category cluster together with a small uppercase divider (DRUMS / BASS / GUITARS / VOCALS / TRACKS / etc.). Matches touring rider standard.

SHOW DETAILS TOGGLE:

Default view is tight. Name / Stage Box / Box Ch / Mon Mix grid / 48V. "Show Details" reveals Mic / Mount / Notes columns inline.

CLEAR ALL:

Top-right of the input list. Removes every row. Stage plot items are untouched (input list and stage are independent).
