Menu page design may be highly individualized.  The “look and feel” of a menu page is important if a 
program is complex or if there are displayed reactions to adjustments that must be viewed and understood 

quickly.  For instance, if a program uses a meter monitor to display the signal level in a given frequency 
range while a knob parameter gives adjustment of the compression level in that frequency range, it is 

important to have the knob parameter and the meter monitor on the same menu page.  It may also be 
possible to show the relationship between a fader parameter and a meter monitor by placing them on 

the same menu page.  This kind of “look and feel” control is performed through the connection of userobject 
outputs to menupage modules.  

  
This section goes through a tutorial to show: 

• 

Parameters are presented on a menu page in the 

PARAMETER

 area in the order their userobjects are 

connected to a menupage module, with placement beginning in the upper left corner of the screen and 
proceeding to lower right corner of the screen. 

• 

Modules that produce parameters with simple text take up one eighth of the screen 

.  Modules that produce parameters with graphics take up some other portion of the screen.  The 

order that modules are connected to the menupage module may cause the parameters to be placed poorly, 

allowing only a few parameters to appear on a screen where better placement might have allowed more.  
 

It is possible to build a good looking menu page using six modules 

connected to a menupage module.  The order of their 
connection to the menupage module is important.  The display 

to the right shows a typical arrangement of the six modules, taken 
from the program 

Placement Demo

 found in the “

Programming

” bank. 

 

To achieve this arrangement, the modules’ userobject outputs must 
be connected to the menupage module in exactly the order 

shown to the right: 

1. 

main fader-obj 

2. 

left low knob-obj 

3. 

left high knob-obj 

4. 

right low knob-obj 

5. 

right high knob-obj 

6. 

meter-obj 

 
To create a menu page such as the one shown, the programmer inserts the six “parameter” modules and the 
menupage

 module using the 

<insert>

 

SOFT KEY

 and then uses the 

<modify>

 

SOFT KEY

 on the 

menupage

 module.  The 

# entries

 is first set to the desired number (six) and then the 

obj

 entries are 

adjusted, one at a time, to connect the userobject outputs to the menupage module.
