touchscreen

The main interface, where you touch blocks directly instead of navigating to them. This is the biggest difference from every earlier Helix.

Tap a block: Selects it. Its parameters appear in the Inspector strip below.
Tap the selected block again: Opens its actions: copy, paste, clear, add to Favorites and more.
Drag a block: Moves it along the path.
Flick a block off the screen: Clears it. There is no delete menu.
Tap an empty part of the signal flow: Adds a block there.
Drag the Split down: Creates a duplicate Input block, so path B can have its own input.
Worth knowing: Input blocks glow green when signal is present and bright red when they clip. So do output blocks, and FX Loop blocks turn red when the Return clips. There is no other level meter.
