UBC Toolbox: General Notes

General Notes:

In designing the UBC Max/MSP/Jitter Toolbox we have tried to keep the appearance and functionality of the modules as consistent as possible. Most modules have the following interface objects:

InterfaceNameDescription
On-Off switchturns the module on or off. Modules must be turned on before they can be used
Help / Infoclick on this button to bring up the info panel for the module
Volume slidercontrols the output volume of the Player or Effects module
Signal levelshows the audio level of the signal leaving the module
(N.B. most modules operate in mono so they can be spatialized more freely)
Diala customized dial for adjusting relevant controls on each module.

We have tried to make the data structures used in the modules (as inputs and outputs) as consistent as possible. Note Data Lists are received by all Players, mono audio signals are the standard inputs and outputs of the modules (except for the mixer and panning modules), and we have tried to keep the range and values for control parameters simple but logical.

Each module can be controlled programmatically by passing messages to the receives implemented throughout the modules. Messages can be passed from any patch, from qlists or externally from NoteAbilityPro. A complete list of messages is included in each module's Info panel.
