Assign a channel of a multi-channel signal to an outlet Use the selector~ object to choose between one of several input signals (or none). The selector~ is similar to the Max switch object but for signals, however if no input is chosen, it outputs a signal composed of zero values.
When the selector~ object is created as mcs.selector~ all of its signal inlets are combined into a single multichannel inlet. The behavior of mcs.selector~ is otherwise analogous to selector~ with the exception that mcs.selector~ changes its number of inputs (auto-adapts) as the number of inputs in the multi-channel signal connected to its right inlet change. Cycling '74 MSP int/signal Turns Input Off or Routes to Output TEXT_HERE (multi-channel signal) Inputs TEXT_HERE (signal) Output TEXT_HERE Number of inputs Initial input selected Specify which input is initially selected. If 0, where all signals are shut off and a zero signal is sent out. Cycle to next inlet Same as the next message. Select an input to route Select which input to route to the outlet. If the value is 0 or negative, a zero signal is sent out all outlets. If the value is greater than the number of inputs, the right-most input is used. If a signal is connected to the left inlet, this message is ignored. Select an input to route Float input is truncated and, like the int message, is used to select which input channel is routed to the outlet. Cycle to next inlet Sending the next message to the left inlet will close the current input channel and open the next one, wrapping accross all channels. If currently closed (set to 0) or set to the last channel, the first channel will be routed to the outlet. Function depends on inlet In left inlet: If a signal is connected to the left inlet, selector~ operates in a mode that uses signal values to determine which of its input signals is to be passed to its outlet. If the signal coming in the left inlet is 0 or negative, the output is shut off and a zero signal is sent out. If it is 1 but less than 2, the signal coming in the first inlet to the right of the leftmost inlet is passed to the outlet. If the signal is 2 but less than 3, the signal coming into the next inlet to the right is used, and so on.

In right inlets: One channel of a multi-channel signal will be passed to the mcs.selector~ object's outlet depending on the value of the most recently received int or float in the left inlet, or the signal coming into the left inlet. The first signal inlet to the right of the leftmost inlet is considered input 1, the next to the right input 2, and so on. Ramp Time Sets the ramp time to use for fading connections in milliseconds. When the ramptime attribute is non-zero, selector~ will crossfade between inputs when the acive input is switched, fading out the input that was previous active and fading in the input that is becoming active. Signal Change Increments Input When enabled, all whole-number changes to a signal value in the left inlet (either increasing and decreasing) will increment the open input channel by 1, wrapping accross the available channels. A value of zero will stop output. The output is the signal coming from the selected input channel, as specified by a number or signal in the left inlet. The output is a zero signal if all inputs are shut off.
