Component Object Properties
Component Object Properties are the control settings available for each component. These represent the
same settings normally found on equivalent analog audio products. Component Object Properties for a
selected component can be viewed/edited (in table form) using the Object Property Sheet. They can also
be copied & pasted (as DSP Data) between components of the same type, using the Edit Menu. However,
once a Component Object is placed into the Layout, all available settings can be accessed by double-
clicking over the object. This produces a Control Dialog Box, which displays the component controls in a
more conventional user interface.
There are twelve Component Object categories, with some categories providing several component
variations. Each component type will have a unique Control Dialog Box. For more information on Control
Dialog Boxes for specific components, select the desired category from the list below.

Customizing Component Objects
Component Objects can be customized in several ways. First, when using the Object Toolbar to place
components into the Layout, certain components will present the user with a pop-up window of
configuration options. Several pre-defined configuration (input/output) options may be available for the
component, as well as a 'custom' selection that allows the user to more specifically configure the
component. Some components (such as Auto Mixers) allow activation of additional features (such as Logic
Inputs & Direct Outputs). Multiple channels of Level Control may be 'ganged' onto a single fader. Multi-
channel Invert and Mute Button Controls may be set for 'horizontal alignment' and/or 'no labeling' when
minimized as a user control.
Actual component settings can be customized through Control Dialog Boxes (see Component Object
Properties). Control Dialog Boxes for certain Combiners, Dynamics, Controls, Meters, & Telephone
Interface components can be minimized to create customized control surfaces (room combiners, meters,
level controls, mute buttons, preset buttons, telephone dialers, etc.). These control surfaces can then be
made user accessable only on specific Layers and with specific Passwords. (See Software User Interface.)
Individual or multiple Component Objects can be customized, connected, and then saved as new
Component Objects in the Processing Library. This can be done by selecting the desired object(s) in the
Layout, then pressing ALT and dragging the object(s) into an appropriate category in the Processing
Library. ALT can also be used to drag object(s) between design (.DAP) files, and to copy objects within the
same Layout. Right-clicking over objects (to Copy) and then right-clicking over a Processing Library
category (to Paste), can also be used.
