Advanced Panel Design
StudioWare allows you to create very sophisticated and complex panels.
This section covers advanced panel design capabilities.
Alias Formulas
You can use aliases, or formulas using aliases, to manage interactions
between the widgets in a panel. You can enter formulas anywhere that
you would normally choose an alias name. There are three different
options, described below.
Simple Alias: Enter a name into the Alias Þeld to represent the
numeric value of the widget. Moving the widget causes the alias to take
on the new value immediately, and if the alias should change in value for
some other reason, the widget will automatically update to the new
position and transmit/record fresh MIDI data. This makes a two-way
connection between the widget and the rest of the system, because data
values can ßow both into and out of the widget through the alias. If two
widgets have the same alias, they will always have the same value as
well.
To Assign Colors to Widgets...
1. Make sure the button is pressed so you are in Design
mode.
2. Make sure that you have chosen None for both the foreground
and background bitmap.
3. Right-click on a widget, and choose
Foreground Color
or
Background Color
from the menu.
4. Choose the color you want to use.
5. Click OK when you are done.
Pro Audio assigns the color to the widget.
Tip:
You can force an alias to work only one way by putting parentheses ()
around the name in the Alias Þeld. The widget will then receive
values from other widgets with the same alias, but wonÕt send data to
those widgets.
