Create a good Multi-band UI M4L device

Hello,
I am creating a 3 multiband version of this device https://maxforlive.com/library/device/11403/sparser-2

I wanted to create a design close to the roar multi Band. Do you know an elegant way to have 3 independent menus at the same place with ability to switch between them.
For the moment I'm considering Bpatcher but I didn't use it a lot and I don't know if it works well for M4L. Hiding every parameter or moving the view doesn't seem to be a good way to do this.
I also want to stop 2 bands from playing when being in single band mode so It's not using too much ressources for nothing.

Do you have any references of M4L multi band devices ?

Thank you in advance and have a nice day !

bptachers are perfectly suitable for M4L devices. Check the "using offsets" tab of the bpatcher help and you'll get probably the simplest solution to achieve what you want.

By the way, I normally use a lot of send/receive (with --- for multiple m4l devices), but with b patcher I don't know if it will work or mess up ?

Why don't you try yourself?

(spoiler: it will work. --- is specific to an entire device, unlike #0 which is specific to a given abstraction/bpatcher)

bpatcher is fine ... or fill the umenu with new menu items and gate3 it to another destiny....
