Doing this, starting with "set_map" or "set_show", I was able to find these for [1] and [3]: set_map_radius(20) set_show_symmetry_master(1) Not sure about the hardware stereo - I suspect stereo_mono_toggle or stereo_mode_state might do the trick, but I'm running it on a Mac laptop so I'm not going to try either of those. -Nat
