[[instance]]
|
|
== Instance
|
|
|
|
Helgobox is an instrument plug-in.
|
|
That means you can add multiple instances of it, just as you would add multiple instances of a synth or effect.
|
|
For example, you could place one instance on the monitoring FX chain and two instances somewhere in your project.
|
|
|
|
[[instance-id]]
|
|
== Instance ID
|
|
|
|
A *randomly assigned*, *non-persistent* identifier that identifies a particular <<instance>> and is *guaranteed to be unique* within one REAPER session.
|
|
|
|
CAUTION: This ID can change after a restart of REAPER! If you are looking for something that doesn't change, use the <<instance-key>>.
|
|
|
|
[[instance-key]]
|
|
== Instance key
|
|
|
|
A *user-defined*, *persistent* identifier that identifies a particular <<instance>>.
|
|
The instance key gets relevant if you want to connect to an instance from an xref:app.adoc[] running in xref:app.adoc#app-remote-mode[].
|
|
|
|
You can change the instance key of an instance by changing the xref:realearn::further-concepts/unit.adoc#unit-key[] of the instance's xref:realearn::key-concepts.adoc#unit[main unit] -- they are the same.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.Make your instance keys unique!
|
|
CAUTION: Because the instance key is user-defined, uniqueness can't be guaranteed. For example, if you just copy and paste a Helgobox FX instance, you end up with two instances that have the same key. You should avoid this. |
