gate~
Pass a signal to one of several outlets.
Description
Use gate~ to route an input signal at the second inlet to one of several outlets, or to no outlet at all. When there is only one outlet (the default case), it acts as a simple switch. Unlike gate , any outlet which is not selected outputs a signal composed of zero values.
Arguments
outputs [number]
Specifies the number of outlets. If there is no argument, there is only one outlet.
Inlets
onoff [auto]
Specifies which outlet is initially open. The default is 0 (none).
