Pool objects
Every pool contains pool objects.
Every pool object with content has a brighter frame compared to an empty pool object.
The first pool object tile displays the name of the pool. If the focus is set to a pool, the first pool tile is blue.
The number in the upper left corner of a pool object is the pool object number.
A pool displays at least a full screen of pool object tiles, for example 127 pool object tiles on screen 2 of a grandMA2 console. If the empty object tiles do not exceed 100, a further page with empty object tiles will be added. In total, there are 9999 object tiles per pool.
To expand the group pool for example by 1000 empty pool object tiles, type into the command line:
- Store Group 1000 and press Please
- Delete Group 1000 and press Please
The group pool is expanded by empty group pool objects.
For information about the pool object colors see workspace - colors - system.
