You can display the actual value of an alias in almost any format, by
using a text widget. To do so, you create a string for the Label Þeld of the
text widget that contains some special characters, as listed in the
following table:
Special characters...
%d
%x
%04d

Label...
%d
Volume = %d
Device ID = 0x%02x

Tutorial—Creating a Panel
In this section, we will create a panel from scratch in order to illustrate
the process. The sample panel will control three speciÞc parameters
found on any General MIDI deviceÑvolume, modulation, and sustainÑ

this panel works, you will need to have at least one track of MIDI data
assigned to a General MIDI-compliant device in the Track view of the
current song.
