The Patchwork Gain device gives you a volume control that can be applied to specific parts of your Patchwork system.
You can connect one or more of your Patchwork audio devices to the Gain input port to raise or lower the volume of just those devices in your composition.
This device should be placed at the end of your device chain, right before the Patchwork Speaker device.
For help on how to find the Patchwork Gain device, see Using Devices.
If you're using multiple copies of a device on an island, it can be useful to rename them. Choosing names that relate to a device's purpose makes it easier to remember what each one does, and easier to find a specific device when using the Event Browser.
