Instances Editors

Instance Editors

The content of an instance box can be modified like that a factory box : via a default or a specific editor. Indeed, instances always have a default editor, and sometimes a specific editor.

Specific Editors

Score objects, as well as a number of other types of objects, like BPFs , or text files, have a specific editor.

An instance has the same editor as the factory box it is derived from, and which offers the same edition possibilities.

About Various Editors
Default Editor

Yet, some factory boxes don't always have a specific editor. This is why instances and factory boxes are always provided with a default elementary editor.

The content of the slots – parametric values – of an instance can also be modified via this default editor.

  • To open this default editor :

    1. keep pressing Cmd

    2. double click on the instance box.

Each slot, or parameter, can then be edited via its own editor.

  • To edit the value of a component :

    1. double click on the numeric frame
