it is "legal" to use more dac~ but the result is not quite correct then. it is better to use throw~ and catch~ and to connect the catch~ to a single dac~

I asked a similar question earlier, you could search the list for a more detailed (and perhaps correct) account, but... from what I understand, the dac~ sums the inputs to each channel just like [+~] does. So it doesn't need to be done manually, indeed, there's is no functional difference between the two methods.

Multiple [dac~]s can be used. If this does cause a performance hit, I think it is negligble on modern computers. *BUT* my personal opinion (and I think it is shared by many people that promote clean, modular, reusable code) is that using multiple [dac~]s is bad design practice. LMK if you want more clarification on that, but otherwise I'll spare you (and the list) my little design theory speech.

Cheers, Ian

ciao~

is it really necessary, to add e.g. several [osc~] with [+~] before it goes into dac~? or is this pure theoretical...

then is it "legal" to use several dac~?

thanks [moritz]
