Messages
bang
Reports the instance number of the patch. The first instance is reported as 1 .
int
Toggles the "busy" state for the patcher instance when the message busy 1 is received. The object will not receive messages generated by a note or midinote message to the left inlet of the parent poly~ object when the "busy" state is on.
- busy-state
[int]
mute
Disables DSP processing for the loaded instance of the patcher when the message mute 1 is received. This message can be combined with an int message which toggles the "busy" state of the patcher to create voices in a patcher which are only on while they play a "note".
- mute-flag
[int]
signal
Sets the "busy" state of the patcher instance. The busy state for the patcher instance is set to 1 when the thispoly~ object receives a non-zero input signal. The busy state is set to 0 otherwise.
Output
instance
mute
Out middle outlet: If the loaded instance of the patcher is muted, a 1 is output. If the instance is not muted, a 0 is output.
