In 1 and In 2 are at the top, the vertical column.
Level 1 and Level 2 are on the side, the horizontal row.
When I turn Level 1, In 2 to 100%, the right channel source affects the left channel's output.
Level 2, In 2 has the right input affecting the right output.
However, in the '?' popup, it says "the horizontal axis contains input channels..." but this is the opposite of how it looks and sounds.
Either I'm confused or the help menu is backwards.
Anyone?

Well, I just tried, seems logical to me.
Try sending a highly left-panned signal to it. Enable a band, set all levels to 0%, no dynamics. Then increase percentages in the column 1 and it the dynamics will go up/down a lot, because in 1 = left is higher in level. And vice versa.

Ok. I understand how it works, I think.
Upper left 100% is left input affecting left output. Bottom left is left input affecting right output, etc.
Maybe I got confused when the help says "the horizontal axis contains the input channels" when really just the names are on the horizontal axis whereas the controls themselves are aligned vertically.
I have to enable dynamics, however. If I don't have dynamics active, nothing happens. Isn't that how it's supposed to work?
'Link Channels' also needs to be set to more than 0 for the link grid to work as well, which makes sense - the Link Grid affects how Link Channels behaves.
Anyway, matrices can be confusing - even these simple ones. I'm cool with how it is but I think the help talks about the labels themselves instead of the actual controls.
'In' flows down. Output 'Level' flows across but the help says 'input levels are horizontal. That's just not now I am experiencing it. Up to you, of course!
Cheers and thanks.

To be clear: it's the help description which confused me - not the layout of the controls themselves. Those are perfectly clear. To me, the help describes the layout in a way other than I understand it.
For a control as subtle as this, I felt that I should mention it. Maybe others are confused or write off the feature due to misunderstanding or possible lack of clarity.
Cheers.

The current text is :
PS it looks as though it should also work when the plug-in is in surround mode.
How about this:Link grid panel controls linking between channels, thus how the input level in each channel controls the levels in the other channels. By default the way channels affect processing in other channels depends solely on the Link parameter. Here you can however set up a more complicated relationship. For example, you can make the left channel list to right channel only and vice versa. The horizontal axis contains input channels; the vertical axis contains the output levels. Hence each row basically contains mix factors for all inputs.
andLink grid panel controls the linking between the channels; that is. how the input level in each channel affects the levels in the other channels. By default the way channels affect processing in other channels depends solely on the Link channels parameter.
Here you can set up a more complicated relationship. For example, you can make the left channel ("1") listen to the right channel ("2") only and vice versa. Each column is an input and each row is an output. Each output level is a mix of the factored input levels. For that example above, the values for "Level 1" would be 0% and 100%, and for "Level 2" they would be 100% and 0%.
Please feel free to improve it.Enable
Enable button enables the link-grid module. It is off by default to save CPU resources. When the link-grid is enabled the Link channels parameter has no effect.

You're right - there is no 'Link' parameter!
But yes, I totally agree: columns are inputs and rows are outputs and your text perfectly clears it all up with a quintessential example.
I don't currently do surround but that would be pretty sick!
