mc.combine~
Combine inputs into a multichannel signal
Description
The mc.combine~ object combines inputs (signals, multichannel signals, floats) into one multichannel signal. Unlike mc.pack~, every channel of an input multichannel signal will be included in the output.
Arguments
number-of-inlets[int]
optional
The first argument specifies the number of inlets. If no argument is present, the object will be created with two inlets.
Attributes
chans[int]
The chans attribute sets a fixed number of output channels. By default chans is 0, meaning the number of outputs is determined by the total channel count of signals connected to the inlets of mc.combine~.

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.

Messages
int
An int message will set a constant value for a single channel in the output multichannel signal.
float
A float message will set a constant value for a single channel in the output multichannel signal.
list
A list message will set constant values for multiple channels. For instance, a list of three items will set constant values for three consecutive output channels starting at the output channel corresponding to the inlet receiving the list.

The message mute 1 mutes all output channels, mute 0 unmutes all output channels.
