• Finally, depending on the module you are currently editing, there might be a certain number
of parameters which can be set at construction. For more information on the effect of each
parameter see the help area or the module description in the user manual.
Saving an instrument
To save an instrument use the Save (Ctrl-S/Apple-S) or Save As commands from the File menu
of the Builder.
• The instrument will be saved in the Browser under the Instruments folder. If the patch con-
tains an Inlet or Outlet module, it will be saved under the Sub-Patches folder.
• You can save an unfinished instrument, but remember that if you want to hear it, you need an
Audio Out or Stereo Audio Out in your patch.
Playing an instrument
Once you have completed your instrument, just choose the Show Player command from the View
Menu (or use the Ctrl-T/Apple-T shortcut) to display the corresponding Player view and have fun!
You can always come back to the Builder from the Player by choosing choose the Show Builder
command from the View Menu (or use the Ctrl-T/Apple-T shortcut).
3.3 Setting MIDI Links
Every control of every module that appears on the module front panel of the Tassman Player can
be linked to an external MIDI controller.
• To link a control to a specific MIDI controller, choose the Edit MIDI Links command from
the MIDI menu. A Midi links dialog for the current patch will appear.
• To add a link, click on the New button which will open the Edit MIDI Link window. From
the Name menu, choose the front panel control you want to link.
• In the Controller and Channel fields, indicate the number of the external MIDI controller
you want to use and its MIDI channel.
• To limit the range of a MIDI controller, choose a MIDI link and click on the Edit button. The
Minimum Value field determines the position on the Tassman control which corresponds to
the minimum value sent by the MIDI controller, while the Maximum Value determines the
position which corresponds to the maximum value sent by the MIDI controller. A value of
0 corresponds to the Tassman Player controller minimum position (left position for a knob)
and a value of 1 to the Tassman controller maximum position (right position for a knob).
Note that the range of knob can be inverted by setting the value of Maximum Value to a
smaller value than that of Minimum Value.
