Controller dialog

This part of ReaLearn is located in the Helgobox App.

This dialog appears when clicking a controller in Controllers. It allows you to configure a key-concepts.adoc#managed-controller and define how it should be used.

controller

Basics

Name

Name

Descriptive name of the controller.

If you use multiple controllers of the same kind, the name should make clear which particular controller instance we are talking about.

Color

Color

Pick a color for this controller.

This will be used e.g. for the control unit frame in Playtime.

Enabled

Enabled

If disabled, the controller will not have any effect.

Connection

How the controller is connected to this machine.

Usage

Main preset

Main preset

This preset decides how your controller will be used, i.e. what exactly it should control.

If you don’t choose any main preset or if the main preset is not compatible with your controller, the controller will not be used at all.

Advanced ⊖

Default controller preset

Default controller preset

In general, ReaLearn will figure out the correct controller preset based on the main preset’s needs and the connected controller.

Only set this if you came up with your own controller preset and want to use that instead of the auto-detected one! Even then, ReaLearn might choose a different controller preset if your one doesn’t provide at least one of the virtual control schemes required by the main preset.
