Personal monitoring can allow a performer with a smart phone to set
- their personal monitor mix for a floor wedge or inear monitoring.
+ their personal monitor mix for a floor wedge or in-ear monitoring.
In Ardour 5.6 OSC commands to allow this were added.

<h3>Setup</h3>
<em>/cue</em>. It is expected that a surface used as a personal
monitor control will use only <em>/cue</em> commands.

+<p>
+ Most phone OSC applets (TouchOSC, Control) require manual port to be set.
+ There are certainly more controls than needed. Using send enables for
+ example, may lead to wasted time discovering why a send has no sound.
+ A good easy to use controller that fits on most phones while still
+ being controllable even with big fingers might look like:

+ Ardour is not limited to talking to one personal monitor controller
+ at a time, but is able to deal with many simultaneously, each controlling
+ it's own Aux bus.

<p class="note">
The send controls and feedback all have the send id (1 to n) in line
as part of the OSC path. So the path for the second send would be
most surfaces used for this will only be able to handle one parameter.
