## Take Mode

If Take Mode is enabled, selecting an input will turn it yellow. Tap on it again to select the take and change the route.

If the Double Tap to Select preference is enabled, you must double-tap on all buttons to select and take.

## Locking and Unlock Outputs

If an output is locked, the icon, short label, or output index will be replaced by a lock symbol. To unlock it, long-press on the button and choose `Unlock` from the menu that appears. To lock an output, long-press and choose `Lock` from the menu that appears. Finally, if an output is locked from another client, you can force unlock it by long-pressing on the button and choosing `Force Unlock` from the menu that appears.
