adoutput~
Access audio driver output channel
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.
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]
optional
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]: 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'
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
set
The word set , followed by two numbers, assigns an audio driver output channel to a signal outlet of the adoutput~ object. The first number is the index of the outlet, where a value of 0 refers to the left outlet. The second number is the index of the audio driver output device channel where 1 refers to the first channel. If the second number is 0, the specified outlet is turned off and outputs a zero signal.
- outlet-index
[int]
- 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.
