Example:

When the selected clip has video and 8 audio channels

The mapping is specified so that video and audio channels 1 and 2 are placed on the 1VA track, audio channels 3 and 4 on the 1A track, audio channels 5 and 6 on the 2A track, and audio channels 7 and 8 on the 3A track.

Each click connects/disconnects it alternately.

To change the destination to connect the source channel, drag and drop the track patch of the source channel to be changed to the new destination track patch.
To place an audio source channel as a monaural channel or stereo channel, right-click on the track patch of the audio and click [Audio Source Channel (Stereo)]. Each click switches between the monaural channel and stereo channel modes.
