Setting Box Inputs

Box inputs correspond to computation parameters. These parameters can correspond to the arguments of a function, or to the attributes of an object, depending on the type of the box.

Information and Default Values

Getting Information : Tooltips

To display information about an inlet, keep Cmd pressed while hovering the mouse over the inlet. A tooltip appears and displays 

  • a parameter name,
  • a short documentation about this parameter.
Getting Default Values

All box inputs have default values that are used by the box if no values have been specified by the user, or if the box is not connected to anything.

To visualize the default value of an inlet, hover the mouse over it. If it is connected to any kind of component – such as a value or a box – this default value will be ignored.

The default pitch of a note is 6000 midicents, that is, a C4.

Entering Values

To enter a value in an inlet :

  1. click on it

  2. type a value in the text field

  3. validate.

The value remains hidden unless you hover the mouse over the inlet.

SHIFT click on the inlet to display the input value in a connected data box that will remain visible.

Saving Values

Always validate after entering a value in an inlet :

  • click in the window
  • press Enter.

This is very important since default values can remain hidden.
