Installation guide

BEST PRACTICE: A handy way to view the links in which a control is a participant is the Link Ref-
erences dialog box. From this dialog box, you can also access details about each displayed link. To
access a control's Link References dialog box, simply click the control's link icon. Note that if the con-
trol is a participant in only one link, there is no Link References dialog box, but only the single Link
dialog box.
BEST PRACTICE: Always test your link after creating it by changing one of the controls and checking if
the other control(s) tracks the change.
BEST PRACTICE: If you need a Selector control, use a DR as your remote hardware. DRs are preferable
to Logic In selectors as DRs are dynamic, can have more than two selections, include automatic naming
of the selections, provide end users with a nice user interface, and fit into a gang box with no custom
fabrication.
BEST PRACTICE: To activate and deactivate control links, you must use presets.
BEST PRACTICE: If you want the DR selection names to match the channel names on the linked proc-
essing block, create the block's channel name(s) before linking it to the DR.
BEST PRACTICE: In most situations, it is best to drag your hardware controls onto the Processing Map—
instead of dragging controls from the Processing Map onto the Control palette. If configured in this
manner, your Processing Map audio control will be the Link Master (unless you include a read-only
hardware device).
