Can somebody explain how I create property parameters?

Also, can one split textstrings for multiple inputs? Just for changing labels depending on what effect is seleced?

Thanks in advance.

properties: on fitting components (floats, ints, boolean, lists asfaso) right click and select the property option.

second q: yes, through parsers or string operations. But then again I think your problem could be solved even more easily. Maybe just put it here and we show you how to solve it 🙂

Jikes thanks alot for the fast response.

But I still need some more handy examples to get me through the process. I understand how to make a property value, but I don't understand how to add it to the propertypage. So some more help would be very aprechiated!

you can right click most low level objects and select 'property' and it will gain a little 'P' and appear in the property window.

thats the easy way.

If you want something more complex than an INT or a bool appearing on that property window you should know that the 'P' tag is sending the visibility info to a hidden GUI component. Similar to the mGui the pGui module is there invisibly when you assign a property. To add a dial or slider (IE more high lvel component) to a properties panel - see the wireless V receive inside the dial? give that a name of 'Properties' it will now become visible on the properties panel.

To go even further into user-control ... summon up the 'module properties gui' and gain real control over it .. simply press P and it appears from its hidden realm

hope that makes sense.

hey Malc, how is that documentation coming along 😉

THAT makes totally sense. Thanks once again for your help!

🙂 - hmm. Yes, struggling to get a good balance between development and doc writing. Currently doc writing isn't getting a look in as the priority is bug fixes.

A few rules keep this a friendly place. You agree to them once.

Shown next to what you post, here and in the app. It doesn’t have to be your real name: 3–24 lower-case letters, digits or _ (capitals become lower case, spaces become _).

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
