Format messages to control MC objects The mc.target object simpifies creating the setvalue messages used to target specific instances within MC wrapper objects. Cycling '74 MC Message to Target Any message received in the left inlet of mc.target will be repeated to the left outlet preceded by setvalue and a target channel index most recently received in the right inlet. Voice Index A voice index between 0 and 1024 will be used in subsequent setvalue messages triggered by messages in the left inlet. setvalue Message Output Any message received in the left inlet of mc.target will be repeated to the left outlet preceded by setvalue and a target channel index most recently received in the right inlet. Voice Index Prior to the setvalue message being sent out the left outlet, the current voice index is sent out the right outlet. This is handy for use with other MC message objects including mc.route, mc.makelist, or another mc.target. Initial Message A symbol argument, if present, sets a message to use in setvalue message output. For example, if the argument is tree, the resulting message output for voice index 1 and an int with a value of 10 would be setvalue 1 tree 10. Initial Voice Index An int argument, if present, sets the initial value of the voice index. By default the voice index is initially 0. setvalue 0 tells the MC wrapper to send the message following the 0 to all instances. Output bang In left inlet: bang is repeated to the left outlet preceded by setvalue and the current voice index. Output int In left inlet: The number is repeated to the left outlet preceded by setvalue and the current voice index.

In right inlet: Sets voice index (0 - 1024) to be used for subsequent setvalue messages triggered by messages received in the left inlet. Output float In left inlet: The number is repeated to the left outlet preceded by setvalue and the current voice index.

In right inlet: Converted to int. Sets the voice index (0 - 1024) to be used for subsequent setvalue messages triggered by messages received in the left inlet. Output list In left inlet: The list is repeated to the left outlet preceded by setvalue and the current voice index. Output anything In left inlet: The message is repeated to the left outlet preceded by setvalue and the current voice index. Set voice index In any inlet: the word voice, followed by a number (0 - 1024), sets the voice index used for subsequent setvalue messages triggered by messages received in the left inlet. Message to Append The append attribute can be set to one or more items to place at the end of the setvalue message produced by the object. By default nothing is appended. Message to Prepend The prepend attribute can be set to one or more items to place at the beginning of the arguments to the setvalue message produced by the object (in other words, setvalue always comes first). By default nothing is prepended.
