them.

• To place a module in a precise manner on the construction area, select it and use the arrow
keys to move it on the construction area.
Adjusting module default values
Most of the module parameters can be adjusted on their front panel in the Player. It is possible,
however, to adjust their default values during construction in the Builder.
• To edit a module in the construction area, double-click on the module and a dialog will
appear. You can also select the module and use the command Module Settings in the Edit
menu.
• The first editable field is the name of the module. By default the name given to a module
is made out of the module type followed by an integer. You can choose any name you like
for the module. The name you choose will appear on the module front panel in the Tassman
Player.
• The second editable field is the row number. This number corresponds to the row on which
the module panel will be mapped in the Player. There is a maximum of 16 rows in the Player
and if you do not want to see the module on the Player, you can choose the invisible option to
hide the modules. Note that this field is not editable for certain modules which do not have a
front panel. Note that within a row, the modules will be placed depending on their position
in the Builder (left-to right and up-down priority).
