Hi! I'm writing a subpatch as part of a synthesizer which includes a number of signal sources (each one an instance of the mentioned subpatch) which are combined together. Each source can be of a different shape: sinusoidal, sawtooth, triangle, noise, etc. The subpatch includes a generator for each kind but only one of them is selected at a given time. I'm not sure if it is possible to deactivate the non selected ones. I mean not to 0-multiply their output but a control facility to temporarily stop them so that they don't do any dsp at all (obviously for performance improvement). Thank you in advance. Regards, Carlos.

That will do it by putting every generator in a different window. Currently my diagram is nicely fitted inside its patch window. Is it possible to selectively start/stop signal generators in the same window?

Nope, afraid not. But I think you will find that your life improves dramatically when you figure out how to make subpatches and re-usable abstractions for repetitive tasks. And in this case, [switch~] works marvelously. I'm currently working on a synth with 3 voices X 5 variable waveforms X 3 sub-generators X 2 detunable oscillators = 90 generators total. So [switch~] is really my friend in this case! ;-)

Try the attached patch on for size.
