Point a control at a different parameter without deleting it: tap it in edit mode, tap Re-bind…, and touch the parameter you want in REAPER. Its position, size, type and colour stay as they are. Templates and Control View are part of the one-time unlock.
You need this when:
- A plugin update renamed or reordered its parameters, and a control is dim with a broken-link mark (Needs relearn).
- A plugin control sits on a global Control View page and you open a project where it is not bound yet. Each project keeps its own binding for it.
- You want to reuse a control for something else.
- Open the page in edit mode: Edit in the plugin header, or Edit in the top bar in Control View.
- Tap the control. Its settings sheet shows the current parameter under BOUND TO.
- Tap Re-bind…. The listen sheet opens.
- In REAPER, touch or move the parameter you want. In a plugin template, only that plugin is accepted.
- The sheet shows the plugin and parameter it caught. Tap Add to use it.
- Tap Done in the top bar or plugin header to save.
For a level meter, Re-bind… opens the Pick tracks sheet instead: pick the track and add it. For a gain-reduction meter, touch any control on the compressor in REAPER.
If it doesn’t work
- The touch is not picked up. See Listen mode doesn’t pick up a parameter or action.
- The settings sheet does not open. A listen session is running. Finish it first.
