Shelf controls
When you add a shelf control, it appears on a three-dimensional shelf. You can move the
shelf, adjust the angle of the shelf, and place multiple shelf controls on the same shelf. For
example, if you have a keyboard screen control in your layout, you can add pitch bend wheel
and modulation wheel screen controls to the same shelf as the keyboard screen control. Shelf
