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
menu page in the
PARAMETER
area. Having the head
module or a menupage module include a nullobj
(sometimes titled
(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
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
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

•
If a module’s

appear on a menu page with other modules’ graphics, it is
placed on a later menu page in a menu stack, thus creating a

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

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.
