mc.adc~

Multichannel audio input and on/off

Description

The mc.adc~ ("analog-to-digital converter") object outputs a multichannel signal with audio from hardware input devices.

Arguments

inputs[symbol]
optional

By default, mc.adc~ outputs a multichannel signal consisting of audio from hardware input devices, starting a logical channel 1.

If a symbol is provided as the first argument to a mc.adc~ object, its output will come from a named inport port in the Max mixer. If mc.adc~ instances in a patcher hierarchy share the same name they will use the same mixer input port.

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.

Messages

int

A non-zero number turns on audio processing in all loaded patches. 0 turns off audio processing in all loaded patches.

Arguments:
  • on/off-flag [int]

list

list comprised of integers sets the logical input channels for each signal inlet.

Arguments:
  • input-channel-designations [list]

Double-clicking on mc.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.

Arguments:
  • logical-output-channel [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 mc.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
