I have a question about utilizing multichannel setups. Is there a way to send a sound to a specific channel (the choice being dynamically allocated so its not just connecting sound generating unit to specific inlet of dac~)? Or is the only option sending all sounds to all channels and changing amplitudes of each channel separately?
Do you mean channels of the soundcard? In that case, try:
[dac~ 1 2] [dac~ 3 4] [dac~ 5 6] etc etc
However, this doesn't sound like what you are asking. If you mean different channels internally, then check out:
[send~ "name"] / [receive~ "name"] [throw~ "name"] / [catch~ "name"]
[demux~]
and other such objects. For dynamic connections, you might also use local or global variables such as $0 or $1 in connection with send/receive or throw/catch pairs. See:
doc/2.control.examples/dollarsign.pd doc/2.control.examples/dollarsign2.pd doc/2.control.examples/14.dollarsigns.pd
I hope this answers your questions. If not, perhaps you could state the problem more clearly?
best, derek
