+Orbits are the way in which outputs are handled in Strudel. They also prescribe which delay and reverb to associate with the dry signal.
+By default, all orbits are mixed down to channels `1` and `2` in stereo, however with the "Multi Channel Orbits" setting
+(under Settings at the right) you can use them as individual 2 channel stereo outs (orbit `i` will be mapped to
 to channels `2i` and `2i + 1`). You can then use routers like Blackhole 16 to retrieve and record all of the channels in a DAW for later processing.
 
 The default orbit is `1` and it is set with `orbit`. You may send a sound to multiple orbits via mininotation
