mc.route
Direct output of messages based on an index received
Description
The mc.route objects works with the non-signal output of objects such as mc.snapshot~, mc.peakamp~, poly~ and mc.poly~ (when non-signal outputs are used). These objects precede non-signal output with a voice index identifying the channel or patcher instance that produced the value. mc.route can use this index to direct the value to an outlet.
