= Instance concepts
|
|
|
|
[[instance-tag]]
|
|
== Instance tag
|
|
|
|
Each instance can have arbitrarily many tags.
|
|
|
|
Tags are important if you want to dynamically enable or disable instances using the xref:targets/realearn/enable-disable-instances.adoc[].
|
|
|
|
[[auto-units]]
|
|
== Auto units
|
|
|
|
Each xref:key-concepts.adoc#instance[] optionally supports the automatic addition and configuration of a xref:key-concepts.adoc#unit[] with a user-defined xref:further-concepts/compartment.adoc#main-preset[] if a certain type of controller is connected, and automatic removal if it is disconnected.
|
|
|
|
The general procedure is:
|
|
|
|
. Globally define once what controllers you have at your disposal and choose which main preset you want to use for which controller (in the xref:user-interface/settings-dialog.adoc[] of the xref:helgobox::app.adoc[])
|
|
. Enable global control for one xref:key-concepts.adoc#instance[] using xref:user-interface/main-panel/menu-bar.adoc#enable-global-control[].
|
|
|
|
=== Global control
|
|
|
|
If global control is enabled for an instance, all connected controllers that are configured in the xref:realearn::user-interface/settings-dialog.adoc[ReaLearn settings dialog] will load their corresponding main preset.
|
|
You can configure controllers using the xref:helgobox::app/user-interface/title-bar.adoc#title-bar-settings[] button in the window title bar of the xref:helgobox::app.adoc[].
|
|
|
|
If global control is disabled for an instance, global controllers will be ignored in this instance.
|
|
This gives you the freedom to create a custom control experience using ReaLearn.
|
|
|
|
|
|
TIP: It's a good idea to enable global control for a Helgobox instance on the monitoring FX chain.
|
|
Such an instance will be around permanently as long as REAPER is running, even if you open and close different projects.
|
|
Perfect for project-spanning control scenarios!
|
|
|
|
=== Overrides
|
|
|
|
If you decide to use a specific device for something else in a certain project, all you need to do is to set use the device as input and/or output in a project-specific ReaLearn unit!
|
|
If you do that, the project-specific instance "wins" over the monitoring FX instance.
|
|
You got a project-specific override.
|
|
If you close the project, the monitoring FX instance takes over again. |
