Roles
The host gives each player a role. The role decides who can edit the patch: add, move or remove modules, turn knobs, and patch cables.
Everyone joins as Normal. The host can also lock the session, which stops Normal players from editing.
| Role | Unlocked session | Locked session |
|---|---|---|
| Host | Edits | Edits |
| Cohost | Edits | Edits |
| Driver | Edits | Edits |
| Normal | Edits | Watches |
| Spectator | Watches | Watches |
Only the host can change roles, lock the session, kick people and change the chat settings. In this version, Cohost and Driver work the same way.
Watching players can still chat, draw and ping unless the host turns that off.
Change a role
Right-click a name in the user list and choose Set Cohost, Set Driver, Set Normal or Set Spectator.
To reset a whole group back to Normal, open the session panel menu and look under Bulk Role Actions.
Common setups
- Open jam: leave the session unlocked. Everyone edits.
- One person at the controls: make them a Driver and lock the session.
- Class or demo: lock the session, and set Who Can Chat to suit the room.
