Returning to the basic Patch Editor area display (
by pressing the
<done>
SOFT KEY), we can see that the second
delay module’s
output is indeed connected to the first delay module’s input.
“Fine,” you say, “but it seems simpler to do stuff like that with the <connect> SOFT KEY.” A wise pupil
are you. . .
Mode of 'Delayamt' Control Input
Every control input has two possible modes, “patched” and
“autoknob." If patched is selected
(as in the example to the right) the next
line of the menu will show the module and output connected to
this input
(
delay knob-out
in the example to the right). More on this below
under “Output Connected to ‘delayamt’ Control Input." . .
If “autoknob” is chosen
(as in the example to the right), the next line of
the menu will show the “autoknob’s”
PARAMETER area menu
statement along with the current value of the control input
(
first
delay: 101.00 ms
in the example to the right). More on this below under
“Autoknob." . .
Output connected to 'delayamt' control input
Since the mode of the delayamt control input is set to
“patched” in the example shown to the right, the next line will
show the module and output connected to this input. By selecting
this line
(as shown to the right) and pressing the SELECT key, the
chosen module and output may be changed. But of course the standard method of re-patching control
inputs is to use the
<connect> SOFT KEY in the basic Patch Editor area display.
Autoknob
If this particular module's
delayamt input is set to “autoknob."
the control input's value is adjustable. The prompt offered (in
this case “first delay”) is the same prompt that would be
offered if this module's userobject was displayed on a menu page in
the
PARAMETER area (by connecting this module’s userobject to the head module). The prompt, also called a “menu
statement." is, in this case, the same as the module name. The text that is displayed is determined by the
inherent properties of a particular module type (i.e. delay module) and may be different for other module
types.
