+The context (right-click) menu has a few options:
+ - "Input gain" allows the input gain to be reduced up to -12dB.
+ - "Output clipping" sets the manner of output clipping: "Soft" applies saturation or soft clipping, which is better for audio, and which is the default; "Hard" simply clips the output at +/-12V. "Hard" is better for CVs, as this mode will achieve precise summing of CVs; otherwise the saturator will slightly affect (reduce) the sums at all levels.
+ - "Average" causes the module to average, rather than sum, its inputs.

+Saturation (soft clipping) limits each output to +/-12V. This can be changed to a hard clip at +/-12V on the context menu ("Output clipping") -- as described on UMIX, this is mode is better if you need to precisely sum CVs.

The knobs visually indicate their values with green/orange colors. This can be disabled on the context menu.
