Isn't "mux~/demux~" closest to what's actually happening? when "joining" two signals, I wouldn't expect them to be running in parallel but being mixed together.

So merging (hmm) some ideas from Fede and Dan, maybe "join~/split~", and a new tap~ object that allows you to pick channels out specifically. Then I think for example "clone osc~" might do OK for making an oscillator bank - assuming it turns out to be practical to send message-time lists to the frequency input. (Maybe that's someting clone should know how to do in other situations too).
still thinking about, for instance, "clone -" to make clones of an anonymous abstraction that you just edit into being live...
