The WAI display

The WAI display (short for Where Am I) is a group of colored markers to show you which tracks and/or buses are currently being controlled by which controller/surface. Each controller/surface uses different colored markers.

In the following picture controller/surface 1 (blue markers) is controlling tracks 2-5, and controller/surface 2 (red markers) is controlling tracks 7-14. You can drag the markers to different groups of tracks to change which tracks each controller/surface is controlling. You can also double-click the WAI markers to open the property page of that particular controller/surface.
