## Implemented Interfaces

IpatchSF2Zone implements IpatchSF2ModItemIface.

## Description

Zones are children of IpatchSF2Preset and IpatchSF2Inst and define synthesis parameters and a linked item (IpatchSF2Inst in the case of IpatchSF2PZone and IpatchSF2Sample in the case of IpatchSF2IZone).

## Details

### IpatchSF2Zone

    typedef struct _IpatchSF2Zone IpatchSF2Zone;

### IPATCH_SF2_ZONE_UNUSED_FLAG_SHIFT

    #define IPATCH_SF2_ZONE_UNUSED_FLAG_SHIFT  (IPATCH_ITEM_UNUSED_FLAG_SHIFT + 2)

### IPATCH_SF2_ZONE_GEN_AMT()

    #define             IPATCH_SF2_ZONE_GEN_AMT(zone, genid)

### IPATCH_SF2_ZONE_GEN_TEST_FLAG()

    #define             IPATCH_SF2_ZONE_GEN_TEST_FLAG(zone, genid)

### IPATCH_SF2_ZONE_GEN_SET_FLAG()

    #define             IPATCH_SF2_ZONE_GEN_SET_FLAG(zone, genid)

### IPATCH_SF2_ZONE_GEN_CLEAR_FLAG()

    #define             IPATCH_SF2_ZONE_GEN_CLEAR_FLAG(zone, genid)

### ipatch_sf2_zone_first ()

    IpatchSF2Zone *     ipatch_sf2_zone_first               (IpatchIter *iter);

Gets the first item in a zone iterator. A convenience wrapper for `ipatch_iter_first()`.

`iter` : | Patch item iterator containing IpatchSF2Zone items
Returns : | The first zone in `iter` or `NULL` if empty.

### ipatch_sf2_zone_next ()

    IpatchSF2Zone *     ipatch_sf2_zone_next                (IpatchIter *iter);

Gets the next item in a zone iterator. A convenience wrapper for `ipatch_iter_next()`.

`iter` : | Patch item iterator containing IpatchSF2Zone items
Returns : | The next zone in `iter` or `NULL` if at the end of the list.

### ipatch_sf2_zone_set_link_item ()

    void                ipatch_sf2_zone_set_link_item       (IpatchSF2Zone *zone,
                                                             IpatchItem *item);

Sets the referenced item of a zone (a IpatchSF2Inst for preset zones, IpatchSF2Sample for instrument zones). The type specific item set routines for each zone type may be preferred, as this one doesn't do strict type checking.

`zone` : | Zone to set zone item of
`item` : | New item for zone to use

### ipatch_sf2_zone_set_link_item_no_notify ()

    gboolean            ipatch_sf2_zone_set_link_item_no_notify
                                                            (IpatchSF2Zone *zone,
                                                             IpatchItem *item,
                                                             IpatchItem **olditem);

Like `ipatch_sf2_zone_set_link_item()` but performs no property or item change notifications (shouldn't normally be used outside of derived types), and the old value can be retrieved with the `olditem` parameter.

`zone` : | Zone to set zone item of
`item` : | New item for zone to use
`olditem` : | Pointer to store old item pointer or `NULL` to ignore. Caller owns reference if specified.
Returns : | TRUE if property was changed, FALSE otherwise (invalid inputs)

### ipatch_sf2_zone_get_link_item ()

    IpatchItem *        ipatch_sf2_zone_get_link_item       (IpatchSF2Zone *zone);

Gets the referenced item from a zone (a IpatchSF2Inst for preset zones, IpatchSF2Sample for instrument zones). The type specific item set routines for each zone type may be preferred, as this one doesn't do strict type checking. The returned item's reference count is incremented and the caller is responsible for unrefing it with `g_object_unref()`.

`zone` : | Zone to get referenced item of
Returns : | Zone's referenced item or `NULL` if global zone. Remember to unreference the item with `g_object_unref()` when done with it.

### ipatch_sf2_zone_peek_link_item ()

    IpatchItem *        ipatch_sf2_zone_peek_link_item      (IpatchSF2Zone *zone);

Like `ipatch_sf2_zone_get_link_item()` but does not add a reference to the returned item. This function should only be used if a reference of the returned item is ensured or only the pointer value is of interest.

`zone` : | Zone to get referenced item of
Returns : | Zone's linked item. Remember that the item has NOT been referenced.
