Description
Use the adoutput~ object to record the current audio output or to feed it back into your patcher. The output of adoutput~ is delayed by one signal vector with respect to the actual output.
Examples
Discussion
By default adoutput~ outputs the audio driver's channel 1 out its left outlet and channel 2 out its right outlet. Optional arguments specify the channels you want. Remember, these are not the logical channels used by dac~ and adc~-- they are the audio driver object's "real" channels. A channel number of 0 turns off an output. Channel numbers higher than the number of real channels of the current audio driver also result in a zero output.
Arguments
audiodriver-output-channels [int]
The arguments specify output channels of the current audiodriver. There is no limit to the number of channels you can specify. By default, adoutput~ creates two outlets and assigns the audio output from channels 1 and 2 of the current audiodriver to them. Note that these channel numbers are not the same as the logical channel numbers used by the dac~ and adc~ objects, but represent the "physical" outputs of the driver after any remapping has taken place. You configure the relationship between logical dac~ channels and the audiodriver's real channels with the I/O Mappings subwindow of the Audio Status window.
Attributes
Common Box Attributes
annotation [symbol]
Sets the text that will be displayed in the Clue window when the user moves the mouse over the object.
background [int] (default: 0)
Adds or removes the object from the patcher's background layer. background 1 adds the object to the background layer, background 0 removes it. Objects in the background layer are shown behind all objects in the default foreground layer.
color [4 floats]
Sets the color for the object box outline.
fontface [int]
Sets the type style used by the object. The options are:
plain
bold
italic
bold italic
Possible values:
0 = 'regular'
1 = 'bold'
2 = 'italic'
3 = 'bold italic'
fontname [symbol]
Sets the object's font.
fontsize [float]
Sets the object's font size (in points).
Possible values:
'8'
'9'
'10'
'11'
'12'
'13'
'14'
'16'
'18'
'20'
'24'
'30'
'36'
'48'
'64'
'72'
hidden [int] (default: 0)
Toggles whether an object is hidden when the patcher is locked.
hint [symbol]
Sets the text that will be displayed in as a pop-up hint when the user moves the mouse over the object in a locked patcher.
ignoreclick [int] (default: 0)
Toggles whether an object ignores mouse clicks in a locked patcher.
patching_rect [4 floats] (default: 0. 0. 100. 0.)
Sets the position and size of the object in the patcher window.
position [2 floats]
Sets the object's x and y position in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation), leaving its size unchanged.
presentation [int] (default: 0)
Sets whether an object belongs to the patcher's presentation.
presentation_rect [4 floats] (default: 0. 0. 0. 0.)
Sets the x and y position and width and height of the object in the patcher's presentation, leaving its patching position unchanged.
rect [4 floats]
Sets the x and y position and width and height of the object in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation).
size [2 floats]
Sets the object's width and height in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation), leaving its position unchanged.
textcolor [4 floats]
Sets the color for the object's text in RGBA format.
textjustification [int]
Sets the justification for the object's text.
Possible values:
0 = 'left'
1 = 'center'
2 = 'right'
varname [symbol]
Sets the patcher's scripting name, which can be used to address the object by name in pattr, scripting messages to thispatcher, and the js object.

Arguments
audiodriver-output-channel-index [int]
Output
signal
Each outlet of adoutput~ outputs a signal from the assigned audiodriver channel, delayed by the number of samples of the current signal vector size.
