 ===== Subpatches =====
-Patches can be nested - a patch can contain any number of modules and other patches, which in turn may contain other modules and patches, and so forth. (I think I already made patches with 4 or 5 layers of nested patches). In such situations you need a way to route signals (ports) and commands (controls/parameters) from one patch to another. Of course Ai offers a neat way for this: Patch IO.

   * in the subpatch, insert ONE Patch IO module (each patch can contain only one such module). You can do this by right-click, ''Insert Module'', selecting it from the Patch section, or by right-click, ''Insert Patch IO''
   * if you need to patch one port to the parent patch simply start to patch this port and drop the other end onto the Patch IO module. The port will immediately appear on the rectangle representing this patch in the parent patch. From there, you may patch as usual.

   * in order to make controls (faders, buttons, dropdown lists, text areas etc.) available on the surface of this patch/in the parent patch, right-click the control and select ''Add to Parent Panel'' whereupon the control will magically appear on the rectangle representing the patch in the parent patch.
+There is a quick way to group modules and patches into a subpatch: ''Ctrl'' + ''G'' does this for you, and even adds a Patch IO and wires it if needed. Thus, simply select the modules and patches you want to be moved into a subpatch, and hit ''Ctrl'' + ''G''.
