I ran into an issue last night trying to get dials, sliders, etc, from a subpatcher to appear in the main presentation. All items were selected to 'Add to Presentation' in the subpatch, i just have been unable to move these presentation items from within my subpatch, into my main patch for device presentation.

Any help would be appreciated!

It doesn't work that way. If you want to have some kind of visual elements in a subpatch appear in the main patch, you should spend a little quality time with the bpatcher tutorials. Within the window the bpatcher provides, presentation mode works fine.

I think you'd be better off using a bpatcher for that. It allows you to have all the ui-objects in your main patch window, and in your presentation.

thanks for the help guys, greatly appreciated.

i'll try the bpatcher.


it seems however that only the bpatcher window itself can be added to the presentation and not its individual elements separately… that right? I was hoping for a way to align bpatcher objects in my main presentation freely — doesn't seem to be possible though??

say I had 3 bpatchers with one toggle button and one slider each, is it possible to have the three toggles next to one another and likewise the sliders in a different area of the presentation?
