5 Lîla References

Lîla operates on a message passing model. Almost all affordances of Lîla can be controlled by sending messages to various subsystems, and it send various messages about its operations as well. Lîla also has various accessable variable. All names follow the following conventions: 1

L_<module>[s]_[#_]_<cmd>

as examples the command below will set the first input volume to 100

L_input_1_vol 100

and this command will set all the input values to 0

L_inputs_vol 0

in many cases a duration in milliseconds can be passed for the operation. As an example, the following will fade the master volume to 0 in 4 seconds:

L_master_vol 0 4000

5.1 Channel Strip naming convention

If a module has a channel strip the following commands and naming convention are available:
