Hi @tehn and alll! I’ve got a question about creating a Params menu for my mod. I’ve looked at a few mod scripts to see how to do this, and while it looks straightforward, I can’t get the params in my mod script to generate in the global PARAMETERS menu on the Norns. I’ve got my mod running, it loads correctly, I load up a script that has its own parameters, but when I go to see the global parameters menu, I don’t see my own params listed there. I’ve added my code here. Can anyone see anything that I’m doing wrong?:

-- [optional] returning a value from the module allows the mod to provide
-- library functionality to scripts via the normal lua `require` function.
--
-- NOTE: it is important for scripts to use `require` to load mod functionality
-- instead of the norns specific `include` function. using `require` ensures
-- that only one copy of the mod is loaded. if a script were to use `include`
-- new copies of the menu, hook functions, and state would be loaded replacing
-- the previous registered functions/menu each time a script was run.
--
-- here we provide a single function which allows a script to get the mod's
-- state table. using this in a script would look like:
--
-- local mod = require 'name_of_mod/lib/mod'
-- local the_state = mod.get_state()
