How To Use The Patchbay

Once a connection patchbay established, it is possible to store those connections in a patchbay configuration that can be then restored when loaded back.

Activated button

The Activated button is simply to activate or not the loaded patchbay. The patchbay must be activated in order to access all the other functionalities.

If checked, connections stored in the loaded patchbay will be restored. All other connections will stay as they were before the load and activation of the patchbay. If and when unchecked, all previously pinned connections will be dropped.

Exclusive button

The Exclusive button goal it to determine if the connections stored in the loaded and activated patchbay will be the only active connections or if previous connections are allowed.

If checked, connections not stored in the loaded and activated patchbay will be removed. If unchecked, the loaded and activated patchbay will only create the stored connections.

Edit button

If checked, the buttons Pin and Unpin are available. Those functions are only for connections, so at least one connection (line between an input and an output) has to be selected.
