Color picker with modulation and outputs.
See also: All pachde-One modules
Here's a sample of the module in Light, Dark, and High Contrast themes.
Click on the Hue selector on the left or twist the H knob to select the color's hue.
Click in the Lightness/Saturation gradient to set the lightness (vertical) and saturation (horizontal) of the color. Or, twist the S and L buttons to select the corresponding color component.
In addition to dragging to twist a knob, all the knobs are clicky. Click any knob to advance the value by increments. Ctrl+Click (Cmd+Click on Mac) to decrement.
Below the colored pickers, the selected color is displayed opaquely on the left half, as if alpha is 1. On the right side it is laid over a white to black gradient with 50% gray texture, so you can see how it overlays with transparency. If you don't see a gradient or texture, the color has little to no transparency -- it has an alpha close to 1.
If the color is modulated by CV inputs, the color bar is split, with the unmodulated color on top, and the current modulated color below.
The selected, unmodulated hex color text is shown in the outputs section. Right click to find a menu option to copy that value for use in another module.
Copper and Copper-mini share the same underlying color module. They present a slightly different UI and selection of output ports, but otherwise behave the same, including as expanders for Null and Info.
Both Copper and Copper-mini work as expanders to Null for choosing its panel color -- even live modulating it for some excitement. See Null for more details on the entertainment value of this configuration.
Copper is also an expander for Info for choosing its colors, configured in the module menu.
Null and Info both allow you to turn off using Copper as an expander.
H (hue), S (saturation, AKA chroma), L (lightness), and A (alpha, AKA transparency) inputs modulate the corresponding component of the chosen color.
All output ports represent the modulated color when any input ports are connected.
