The relative phase of each channel may also be set. Frequencies from 1 to 20,000 Hz may be entered. The phase can vary between -360 to 360 degrees. The volume may be between 0 and 100 percent. The mute button makes it easy to quickly silence the audio generators. You can take snapshots of the generator settings.
