Asset: Enum

An Enum is an ordered numbered list of items used within an Elias project.

What are Enums?

  • Enums, which are short for enumeration, are a unique asset type and are created from the asset browser via right-click.
  • Enums are lists of values, sometimes also called enum-list-item, list-item, or just item.
  • These lists can be used to keep track of different states and for selections in different patch nodes.
  • For example: A pulse switch that output a pulse depending on the currently selected value, or a mapper where each value represents a float value.

  • Double click on the asset to open the Enumeration to manage it in the workspace area.
  • Add a new item to the list by writing it in the field and pressing Enter.
  • To rename an item, double-click on it or right-click on the item and select the “rename” option.
  • To remove an item, select it by clicking it and pressing the delete key, hover the item to induce an “X” symbol to the right side of the item and click it, or right-click on it and select “delete”.
