Renaming Contraptions

You can rename contraptions in AudioMulch. This can be useful if you've got several versions of the one kind of contraption in the same patch, as it helps you to differentiate between them. You can also rename contraptions in order to identify them more easily.

To rename a contraption do one of the following:
Right-click on the contraption in the Patcher Pane and select Rename from the shortcut menu. The contraption will be highlighted with a dotted border around it. Edit the name of the contraption by typing in it. Only letters (upper and lower case), numbers, and underscores are allowed. Press the ENTER key or click outside the contraption and the new name will become permanent. The name change will be visible in the Patcher, Properties, and Automation Panes, and also the Parameter Control dialog box. OR Select the contraption in the Patcher Pane by clicking on it. The contraption will be highlighted. Click on the contraption again, wait until a dotted border appears around it, and type the new name into it. Only letters (upper and lower case), numbers, and underscores are allowed. Press the ENTER key or click outside the contraption and the new name will become permanent. The name change will be visible in the Patcher, Properties, and Automation Panes, and also the Parameter Control dialog box. Note: Name changes are specific to the contraption and document you are using, and are saved as part of the document. Renaming contraptions will not affect other contraptions, which will keep their default names.
