mc.pack~
Description
The mc.pack~ object combines inputs (signals, multichannel signals, floats) into a multi-channel signal. Unlike mc.combine~, mc.pack~ creates an output multichannel signal that contains exactly the number of channels as its number of inlets.
Examples
Arguments
size [int]
The argument to mc.pack~ determines both the count of inlets and channels in its output multichannel signal.
Attributes
chans [int]
If the chans attribute is set to a value smaller than the number of inlets of mc.pack, extra channels will be removed from the multichannel output the next time the audio is restarted. By default, the chans attribute is set to 0, which means the output channel count is always equal to the number of inlets.
