Announcing ReaLearn: Sophisticated MIDI/MCU/OSC learn for REAPER

[onewayout]

Hi Everyone,

I just got my old controller back to run my CLA mixhub app and I downloaded the new version of realearn 2 because it's been a while since I've used it. I was able to map out both the mono and the stereo versions and I put two relearns in my monitor effects slots.

When I opened up a project that I started a while back I already had some CLA mixhubapps in it, but the controllers wouldn't work. I opened up a new project and dragged a mix hub into a new track worked fine. I just can't get it to work on this one particular project even if I added a new mixhub the controller still will not work.

Does anyone have a workaround, or is it because realearn wasn't used when I started working on the project?

Forgive me when I am dumb but I was reading this thread and the manual up and down.
I am trying to use auto-load based on the focused fx-instance.
I know that I have done that in the past.
I focus my fx with my APCKey25 with another instance of REALEARN.
I have 2x5 rows of bringing in focus and 2x5 rows of activating fx.
This works quite nice.

I have mappings to ReaEQ from a FaderFox EC4 that load wonderfully when ReaEQ ist in focus.
When I try to do this for other FX I seem to have no success.
Can someone describe the actual steps I need go to make another instance of REALEARN be linked to a specific plugin (ReaComp e.g.)
This is what is describe in the manual by: Add link from last docused FX to preset....right?

Usecase: I have lot´s of tracks that hold similar plugins.
Everytime I focus an arbitrary instance of say ReaComp I want it´s parameters be ready to be tweaked by auto-loading the corresponding mapping preset.

I think this the most obvious benefit one can get out of this.
I was into the fx.json file in the Reaper resource directory and it seems that all connections other than the one to ReaEQ are not saved.
This is what the editor shows me when opening the file:

{
"links": [
{
"fx": {
"name": "VST: 01_ReaEQ (Cockos)"
},
"presetId": "reaeq-control"
}
]
}

I must be doing something very obvious compeletly wrong and I would be very greatful if someone could help me for the sake of salvation.
Thank you very much in advance.

EDIT: When switching mappings via auto-load link I do only need one instance of ReaLearn right? It is all done by switching through presets?
I mean I know that it is not reccommended to try to manage everything from within one instance of ReaLearn for organizational reasons.
What I don´t get is the relation between presets and (Realearn) instances it seems.
I want to use one instance of RL for a mapping for a given plugin.
But this very instance shall be mapped to a instance of a plugin and everytime I focus an instance of that very plugin the mapping should match.

I simply missed the step to link my VST plugin to the preset.
It is clearly described in the manual under

Step 3: Save mappings....

I must have done this in the past with ReaEQ and it was in the list.

I was under the impression that the link would be established somehow "magically" by focusing it before saving my preset.
