selector~
Assign one of several inputs to an outlet
Description
Use the selector~ object to choose between one of several input signals (or none). The selector~ is similar to the switch object but for signals, however if no input is chosen, it outputs a signal composed of zero values.
Arguments
choices [number]
Number of inputs signals to select from.
Inlets
onoff [auto]
Select which input to route to the outlet. If the value is 0 or negative, a zero signal is sent out. If the value is greater than the number of inputs, the right-most input is used. If a signal is connected to the left inlet, this message is ignored.
Outlets
out [signal]
The output is the signal coming in the "open" inlet, as specified by a number or signal in the left inlet. The output is a zero signal if all signal inlets are shut off.
Fixed Attributes
These attributes must be set in the object box and determine the behavior of the object at runtime.
choices [number] (default: 1)
Number of inputs signals to select from.
Dynamic Attributes
These attributes can be modified in the code during execution using the set object
onoff [auto]
Select which input to route to the outlet. If the value is 0 or negative, a zero signal is sent out. If the value is greater than the number of inputs, the right-most input is used. If a signal is connected to the left inlet, this message is ignored.
