Building menu systems in PD and Max 8

There is the Organelle synth, which is a Linux system with Pure Data installed. It uses an OLED for user feedback.

On Organelle you can do something like this to send something to the display, where $1 is the value input.

This setup writes "P8-AmpEnv…Pre-$1… to the first line of the display.

If you want to research it a bit, maybe there is something in the mother.pd file that launches a long with all PD patches on the Organelle. Maybe you can find something about the communication between PD and OLED there.

I have build a few menu systems for Organelle OLED. And there are more menu systems in the Organelle patch library, that you can check out :slight_smile:

So I would say it’s possible :slight_smile:
