Chaplin js permanent controller that responds to routes

Is it possible to have a controller that keeps its state alive and also responds to routes?
For example I would have a PlayerController that I initiate in the application's initControllers method and then I will need it also to respond to a route like /player/trackID so I can change the current playing track.

Yes, you can create a controller which will be active for the lifetime of the application. As you mentioned instantiate PlayerController in initControllers method of the application and in routes.js define the route /player/:trackID to be bound to a specific method of the PlayerController.

e.g. route in routes.js will look like

match('player/:trackID', 'player#playTrack', {name:'playtrack'});

In the above route playTrack is the method of PlayerController.
