Interface Modules
Control inputs are used to send a parameter value into a module. The parameter value is generated by
another module, perhaps a knob module. One common use for this capability is the creation of custom
“parameter adjusters” to adjust the parameters for the modules in a program. The custom “parameter
adjusters” are special purpose modules from the “interface” module group. This group includes the
common text/numerical parameter adjuster that is generated by the knob module, as well as several
graphical “parameter adjusters” (hfader module, vfader module, and rfader module).
P
ARAMETER ADJUSTERS
“Parameter adjuster” modules have a single control output and a
userobject output. If connected to a menupage module, a
“parameter adjuster” will show up on the menu page in the
PARAMETER area as a parameter.
For example, in the now infamous program
Patch Instruct
shown to the right, the module named “
delay knob” is a
“parameter adjuster."
Its userobject is connected to a menupage module. . .
. . .which is in turn connected to the head module.
Thus, the module named “delay knob” shows up in the
PARAMETER area as a parameter (Each Delay).
Selecting a parameter in the
PARAMETER area and rotating the
KNOB will change the value of the “parameter adjuster’s” control
output. The change will also be reflected in a textual or graphical
display change. In this case, rotating the KNOB changes the Each
Delay
parameter in the PARAMETER area. . .
. . .and it changes the value sent from the “delay knob’s” control
output into both
dly modules and the mul module (of course this
screen doesn’t show the change, but the value has changed
nonetheless!) .
