APP Settings 

In this section you would be able to review basic settings of the app.  The 
most  relevant  settings  cover  the  bluetooth  receiver  device  name  and  the 
setting for mixing.  
 

 

 
The  default  device  name  would  be  “HC-06”  reflecting  the  PiKoder/SSC 
RX standard configuration. If you are employing another device then you 
can adapt the device name by tapping the field. Please note that the device 
which you are using has to be paired with your Android device.
