MC Gen Operators

Two Gen operators are useful with mc.gen~ and mc.gen:

mc_channel reports the current channel of the Gen patcher within mc.gen~ or mc.gen (starting at 1).
mc_channelcount reports the total number of channels (Gen instances) within mc.gen~ or mc.gen.

These Gen operators make it possible to do voice-specific calculations. You can also connect them to the Gen out operator to provide voice-specific identification signals or events outside the Gen context.

When used in a patcher inside gen~, mcs.gen~, or gen (in other words, outside the context of the MC Wrapper), both operators output 1.
