There are 4 options in this screen:

* '''All Sounds Off''' => All sounds are stopped abruptly by sending CC#120 to all channels.

* '''All Sounds Off''' => All sounds are stopped abruptly by sending CC#120 to all channels.

The 2 last options (All Notes Off / All Sounds Off) can be triggered by short/bold clicking CTRL-1 (layer) from the layer screen (contextual actions). In such a way you can trigger the actions from any point in the workflow by simply clicking twice CTRL-1.

You can create up to 16 layers. Several layers can be assigned to the same MIDI Channel, but when you do so, these layers are MIDI-bond because it receive the same MIDI messages. This can be a problem when trying to adjust volume (CC#7) or other parameters assigned to standard MIDI CCs. For solving this problem, you can use the "Clone" feature, that allow to bind several layers while keeping independent MIDI CCs and other MIDI messages (Program Change, Channel Pressure, etc.).
