Introduction

The user interface of MADRIX is arranged in a specific way.

MADRIX GUI Overview

While there seem to be a lot of different areas, the GUI can be divided into 3 main sections:

▪	Left [Effect Pipeline Left]

▪	Middle Section [Main Output]

▪	Right [Effect Pipeline Right]

This screenshot clarifies the layout of the 2 pipelines [Effect Pipeline Left is shown in yellow / Effect Pipeline Right is shown in green] and the middle section:

That means you can work independently on the left side or on the right side of MADRIX. You could compare this workflow with the A/B setup of a DJ.

Hierarchy

Furthermore, you can find a distinct visual and logical hierarchy for each effect pipeline:
