Multichannel audio output and on/off The mc.dac~ ("digital-to-analog converter") object sends its signal inputs to audio hardware. Double-click on an mc.dac~ to open the Audio Status window to configure audio settings and hardware. Cycling '74 MC Audio outputs, start (1) and stop (0) TEXT_HERE Audio Out, start (1) and stop (0) TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE When mc.dac~ has no arguments, it sends all channels of its connected multichannel input to audio output channels starting at logical channel 1.
When mc.dac~ has channel number arguments, it sends channels of its connected multichannel input to the specified audio output channel(s). If there are more channels in the multichannel input than channel arguments, the additional channels of the input are ignored.
If a symbol is provided as the first argument to a mc.dac~ object, its output will be sent to the Max mixer. If mc.dac~ instances in a patcher hierarchy share the same name they will use the same mixer output. Enable/disable audio processing A non-zero number turns on audio processing in all loaded patches. 0 turns off audio processing in all loaded patches. Assign audio output channels A list of numbers sets the logical output channels for each channel in the multichannel input starting with the first input channel. For example, sending 3 4 5 to mc.dac~ will assign the first channel in an input multichannel signal to audio output channel 3, the second channel of the input to audio output channel 4, and the third channel of the input to audio output channel 5. Double-click to open the Audio Status window Double-clicking on mc.dac~ opens the Audio Status window. Open the Audio Status window Opens the Audio Status window. Assign the first audio output channel The word set, followed by a number, sets the logical output channels for the first channel in the input multichannel signal. For instance, set 3 assigns the first channel of the input to logical output channel 3. To assign multiple channels, use the list message.
Audio output The mc.dac~ object sends the audio in its multichannel input to audio output channels. The Arguments section describes how audio channels in the multichannel input are assigned to audio outputs. The signal must be between -1 and 1 to avoid clipping. Turn on audio processing in all loaded patches. Turns on audio processing in all loaded patches. Enable audio processing in local patch and subpatches only Turns on audio processing only in the patch in which this mc.dac~ is located, and in subpatches of that patch. Turns off audio processing in all other patches. Disable audio processing in all loaded patches Turns off audio processing in all loaded patches. Close the Audio Status window Closes the Audio Status window if it is open. mc.dac~ produces no output internal to the application. Signals received in its inlets are sent to its assigned logical audio output channels. You can assign logical channels to device output channels in the I/O Mappings subwindow of the Audio Status window.
