MENUPAGES AND PARAMETER PLACEMENT

The use of menupage modules to create menu pages in the PARAMETER area is crucial for creating

easy to use programs. This section discusses many of the fine points of menu creation and the care and

feeding of userobjects. There are several important points regarding PARAMETER area menu pages and

their construction in the Patch Editor area:

• Null userobjects are invisible. They do not take space on

a menu page in the PARAMETER area. Having the head

module or a menupage module include a nullobj

(sometimes titled adc-nullobj (as shown to the right) or

head-nullobj) creates null userobjects.

• Any userobject that is connected to the head module

creates a SOFT KEY (with the exceptions of those

userobjects that are null).

• The order that a userobject is listed in the head module

determines what location the SOFT KEY will appear in the

PARAMETER menu. The first userobject gets the first

SOFT KEY. The fifth userobject gets the fifth SOFT KEY

and so on.

• The order that a userobject is listed in a menupage

module determines where on a PARAMETER area menu

page it will appear.

• Objects are placed on a menu in upper left to lower right

order, as listed in the menupage module.

• If a module’s

PARAMETER area graphic is too large to

appear on a menu page with other modules’ graphics, it is

placed on a later menu page in a menu stack, thus creating

SOFT KEY stack.

• menupage modules may be connected to other

menupage modules! A menupage userobject output is the same as any other module’s userobject

output, except that a menupage userobject output is always big enough to warrant being placed on

its own menu page or pages in the

PARAMETER area.

•

A userobject output may be connected to multiple userobject inputs. This means a single module’s

userobject output can show up in several menu pages in the

PARAMETER area. Note: If an module’s

PARAMETER area graphic is shown more than once on a single menu page, the second instance might not be updated

when the first instance’s value changes and vice versa.
