menus. The formats shown here can be created using the % character, numbers, a small f, and a period(.).
As an wee exercise, Get the
Patch Instruct
program from the Harmonizer
(it’s found in the “Programming” bank”), and double click on the knob module.
Then change the menu statement to “Each Delay:%2.3
fms” as shown above.
Now Send the program back to the Harmonizer, and see the
difference that made to the display. Note the decimal value in the
“
Each Delay” parameter. It used to read 250. Now it reads
250.000. Contain yourself. . .
Min and Max Values
The lower and upper limits of a numeric
parameter value are set as specifiers in the module
that controls the parameter. In the example program
Patch Instruct, the “delay knob” parameter value has
a range of 0.0000 to 10000.0000 set by the min value and max value specifiers. You can adjust these limits if
you wish.
As another wee exercise, Get the
Patch Instruct
program from the Harmonizer
(it’s found in the
“Programming” bank”)
, and double click on the knob
module. Change the min value and max value to
set different limits as shown above.
Now Send the program back to the Harmonizer and test the
Each
Delay
parameter. To the right we bump up against the new min
value.
And on this screen we bump up against the new max value.
You will find min value and max value specifiers in most of the
“interface” group modules.
Resolution
The resolution specifier controls what minimum change in a parameter value can be achieved by turning the
KNOB or by using the INC or DEC key on the numeric keypad. The resolution specifier also controls the “rate
of change” as the
KNOB is spun. If the resolution is very fine, the parameter value will increment in “baby
steps” as the
KNOB is spun. If the resolution is very course, the parameter value will increment in “great
leaps” as the
KNOB is spun.
For example, if the selected parameter displays a value of 45.30 and the resolution is 1.0000, then slow
motion clockwise rotation on the
KNOB will change the value to 46.30 (unless the max value is less than 46.30!). If
the selected parameter displays a value of 45.30 and the resolution is 0.1000, then slow motion clockwise
rotation on the
KNOB will change the value to 45.40.
As yet another wee exercise, double click on the knob module the same way as in the Min and Max Value
section and adjust the resolution specifier. Notice the difference this makes in the “step size” of the Each
Delay
parameter value. (You’ll have to walk yourself through this one. . .)
