hi, I would stick process 1 in one subpatch, process 2 in a second subpatch, and control them by sending 1's and 0's to switch~ objects inside each subpath, turning them on or off. This just turns dsp on/off for that subpatch. If you want to just reroute messages, you can use spigot's or a variety of techniques using [moses] or whatever. this won't stop the signal objects from computing though.

Hi all, I'm wondering if an object exists that can act as a 'switch'. What I mean

is

that when it is in one state, the signal flow continues in one direction

and

when in the other it goes in another direction, basically deactivating the other branch. What I want to do is split a gem list in two, so when the switch is in one state one type of processing is done, and another type of process is done

when

the switch is in another state. All this to save cpu, since both processes could be placed inline, but would consume too much cpu. I'm thinking specifically of live video processing. Is there an object to do this, or can anyone think of a way to do this?

Thanks all!
