Double clicking on the knob module in the Patch Instruct program reveals this window as shown
above (you may have to download the program by using the Get command if you haven’t already done so).
• The module name specifier is set to “delay knob."
• The menu statement specifier is set to “Each Delay:%2.0fms." This means that on a menu page in the
PARAMETER area where this knob module’s menu statement shows up, the text “Each Delay:
xxxxxms
” will show, where xxxxx actually reflects the value that the parameter is set to. The “%2.0f”
part is described in some detail later.
• The 8 char name is “Delay." The 8 char name is what would show up as a
SOFT KEY if this module’s
userobject output were connected to the head module.
• The min value specifier sets the minimum value that the parameter can be set to.
• The max value specifier sets the maximum value that the parameter can be set to.
• The resolution specifier sets the “jump” that the parameter value makes when the KNOB is rotated. In
other words, when the user rotates the KNOB, the resolution is how far the parameter value changes per
incremental movement.
• The last row reads “250.000” This allows you to manually set the value of the control output from the
Vsigfile
Specifier
Display.
Let’s look at these lines in more detail, shall we?
Menu Statement
The menu statement is a crucial specifier used in the basic knob module, which is the most common
“parameter adjuster." The menu statement is the line that will appear in PARAMETER area menu page. The
menu statement may contain up to 20 characters including the parameter value. Anything over 20 characters
will not be displayed.
The first job of the menu statement is to indicate to the user what the parameter is for. It should also contain
the format for the parameter value that will be displayed, indicating the number of spaces that the
parameter value will take up and how many digits will be after the decimal point for a numerical
parameter value (parameter values can be text as well, more on this later). You must specify this format bearing
in mind the min value, the max value, and the resolution.
The syntax of the format is:
%Y.Xf
where Y is the number of spaces reserved for display and X is the maximum number of digits after the
decimal point. The percent(%), period(.), and f must be used as shown. If the period(.) is removed, the
Harmonizer will display six digits after the decimal point. Here are example formats and results that
would be displayed on a menu page in the PARAMETER area. “~” represents a space that will be
inserted.
