CREATING THE USER INTERFACE
The Patch Editor automatically creates
PARAMETER
area menu pages for most modules when they are
inserted by connecting their
userobject
s to the
head
module. You can create a wealth of programs this
way. In the
PARAMETER
area, parameters will automatically be grouped by module and
SOFT KEYS
will appear -one per module. A program created this way will be fully functional and have all of the
audio characteristics of a factory preset. Audio, however, is where the similarities end. A program
created using the “automatic menu system” will not look as slick, nor be as easy to use, as the factory
presets are. Factory presets are created by hand-connecting the
userobject
s of
knob
modules to
menupage
modules and then hand-connecting the
userobject
s of those
menupage
modules to the
head
module. This chapter details how this is done.
Viewing Menupages and Menupage Modules
A
menupage
module has a single
userobject
and any number
of
userobject
inputs. Normally a
menupage
module is
connected to the
head
module. If so, the
menupage
module
shows up in the
PARAMETER
area as one or more pages of
parameters, a title line, and a
SOFT KEY
. The information for
the title line and
SOFT KEY
and the list of connected
userobject
s that comprise the parameters seen in the
PARAMETER
area are accessible by using the
<modify>
SOFT KEY
on the
menupage
module. For
example, load the program
Patch Instruct
from the “
Programming
” bank.
The menu page shown above is visible in the
PARAMETER
area. It is created with a
menupage
module, a
knob
module, a
monitor
module, and a
textblock
module
(we’ll see how in a minute)
.
Pressing and holding the
PARAMETER
key will access the Patch
Editor area. Do so and then press the
<aud only>
SOFT KEY
to
get the screen shown to the right. From this display the
knob
(
knb
) module and
monitor
(
mon
) module are visible. Both
are visible in this display mode because they have one or more control inputs or outputs. The
menupage
and
textblock
modules have neither so they will only be visible in the
misc
display
mode. Press the
<aud+ctrl>
SOFT KEY
twice to view the program in the
misc
display mode.
The three modules,
head
(
hed
),
menupage
(
mnu
), and
textblock
(
txt
) can now be seen. Pressing the
LEFT
or
RIGHT
CURSOR
key will select one of the modules. Select the
menupage
module and then press the
<modify>
SOFT KEY
.
From here, we can see the
description
“
delay control
” and
the
8 char name
“
DelayCtl
."
Note that these equate to the title and
SOFT KEY
when the menu
page is viewed in the
PARAMETER
area.
