Template

Parameters

[Parameters not yet documented — likely declared in source outside register_animatable(). Add an override in _overrides/ if needed.]

Additional controls

Subgraph Name — Display name for this Template node. Cosmetic; same role as Subgraph’s name. Useful when you have several Template instances of the same .subgraph file in one parent graph — name them by their role (“Verse FX”, “Chorus FX”) to keep them distinguishable.

Edit Subgraph — Button — opens the template’s contents in the editor. Same as double-clicking the node. Edits made here are local to this Template instance until you save the changes back to the source .subgraph file via the file menu (otherwise your edits drift from the on-disk template). Use the menu’s “Refresh from File” if you want to pull in upstream changes and discard local edits.

Exposed Parameters — Sliders for animatable parameters surfaced from internal nodes — same mechanism as Subgraph. Expose internal params by right-clicking inside the template; they appear here for control without entering the subgraph.

About Template

Template inherits everything from Subgraph (execution, ports, exposed params, double-click navigation) — only the persistence model differs. Where a Subgraph stores its internal graph embedded in the parent .graph file, a Template stores only a path to an external .subgraph file and loads its content from disk. This makes Templates the right choice for: building reusable processing chains shared across many sessions / projects, distributing patches you’ve authored (the .subgraph file is portable), keeping the parent .graph slim by referencing big subgraphs rather than embedding them. Trade-off: the parent .graph is no longer self-contained — open it on a machine without the .subgraph file and ports / behavior won’t resolve. The “Refresh from File” menu reloads the on-disk template (useful after editing the file in another project, or to discard local in-place edits). Pick Subgraph when self-contained portability matters more than reuse; pick Template when reuse matters more than self-containment.
