adc~
Audio input and on/off
Description
The adc~ ("analog-to-digital converter") object outputs one or more signals (one per outlet) with audio from hardware input devices.
Arguments
inputs[int]
optional
If adc~ has one numeric argument, it determines the number of outlets that produce signals from audio input hardware starting with logical input channel 1. If adc~ has more than one argument, it is taken as a list of logical input channels assigned to its outlets. If no arguments are supplied, adc~ will have two outlets, initially set to logical input channels 1 and 2.
If a symbol is provided as the first argument to adc~, its output will come from a named inport port in the Max mixer. If adc~ instances in a patcher hierarchy share the same name they will use the same mixer input port.

fontface[int]
Sets the type style used by the object. The options are:
plain
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'

'30'
'36'
'48'
'64'
'72'
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]: 0
Toggles whether an object ignores mouse clicks in a locked patcher.
jspainterfile[symbol]
You can override the default appearance of a user interface object by assigning a JavaScript file with code for painting the object. The file must be in the search path.
patching_rect[4 floats]: 0. 0. 100. 0.
Sets the position and size of the object in the patcher window.
position[2 floats]
write-only
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]: 0
Sets whether an object belongs to the patcher's presentation.
presentation_rect[4 floats]: 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]
write-only
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]
write-only
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.
Messages
int
A non-zero number turns on audio processing in all loaded patches. 0 turns off audio processing in all loaded patches.
- on/off-flag
[int]
list
list comprised of integers sets the logical input channels for each signal inlet.
- input-channel-designations
[list]
(mouse)
Double-clicking on adc~ opens the Audio Status window.
open
Opens the Audio Status window.
set
The word set , followed by two numbers, sets the logical input channel for one of the object's signal outlets. The first number specifies the outlet number, where 1 is the leftmost outlet. The second number specifies the logical input channel (from 1 to 1024). If the second number is 0 , the outlet sends out the zero signal.

[int]
- logical-input-channel
[int]
start
Turns on audio processing in all loaded patches.
startwindow
Turns on audio processing only in the patch in which this adc~ is located, and in subpatches of that patch. Turns off audio processing in all other patches.
stop
Turns off audio processing in all loaded patches.
wclose
Closes the Audio Status window if it is open
Output
signal
Audio from hardware input devices is output as a series of signals, one per outlet.
