I was just wondering if there can be spaces in a channel name?
Spaces in channel names
If you try it you should see a warning in the output console:
/*
Warning: White spaces are not supported in channel names. The following channels need to be changed: "o ption" (Line:2)
*/
It’s because plugins parameter names are stored as xml data. So whitespaces are not allowed.
I made a mistake in one of my programs and I got no such error messages when using cabbageCreate. I didn’t think to try it statically, but I copied the same line object to a static version, and finally got the error message.
Is cabbageCreate doing the same error checking?
No. The warnings are all picked up with a pre-run of of the instrument. So I don’t expect to catch them when you are using cabbageCreate. I could look into adding the same warnings there, but it would be a bit of work, and might potentially slow down initialisation of the instrument…
Your call. Now that I know spaces are verboten because of the standards, then I will just have to live with it and avoid them like covid! Maybe adding a warning in the documentation for cabbageCreate would be a suitable compromise.
I’ve added this to the docs. I’ll push to the website when I get a chance.
