Hi - I'm wondering if there is a Sequential Switch type module available as an external. I'm working in Automatonism (Purr data).

Many thanks.

@JackOats Like this?

Can be used for audio rate as well, but you change the receive with a [set( instead of using the sends right inlet. The help file for [send~] should make it clear enough.

Edit: you wanted an external, disregard. There are are quite a few multiplexer/demultiplexer externals, zexy has [mux] and [mux~] and [demux] and [demux~]

@oid - Hi. Thanks for the reply.

Sorry. I'm being a bit too vague here.

What I have is a patch with 4 voices - Drum 1/Kplus string 1/Kplus string 2/Drum 2.

At the moment I am using LFOs to fade the VCAs in & out to highlight/solo various combinations of the voices.

I'd really like to be able to turn on & off the various voices, preferably in a programmed way rather than manually.

Just wondered if anybody knew of such a 3rd party module.

Thanks very much.

@JackOats No, but you can make your own..... just add switcher-4way.pd to the module folder for example.........
4way audio switch.zip
The programmer you can build separately, and add it to the folder too.

In this case in the help file I have added a random generator for the switch module.
You could paste that into a new patch saved as prog-random-4switch.pd.
Give the new patch an outlet.
Right click its canvas and select "graph on parent"
Move the toggle into the red box.
Save the patch again.
Move it to the module folder.
Now you can put [switcher-4way] and [prog-random-4switch] in your main.pd and connect them up.

Hi David - Wow! Thanks for that. Actually I have been working with the 4to1 Switches this morning. It's getting me somewhere nearer to what I envisaged, but needs a little more tweaking of the parameters. But I will work through your suggestions today, thank you.

Many thanks for the zip.

David - I'd love to be able to, but I'm afraid it's beyond my level of understanding at the moment.

I'm working through the really excellent video series by Andrew Brown & cheetomoskeeto- but I'm still on the ground floor really.

hey man, dont know if you sorted this but i was searching this morning for the same thing, to no avail, so i built one. im new to using google drive but check it here; drop it into your ptoject folder and make an object called "4switch"

peace! x

its for triggers / control signal / bangs, not audio, but use a spigot or something to mute which of your channels get through if its not suitable for your use case!

the first inlet is the signal you want to route, the second is to step through the four sequemtial outputs with a bang, and you can use the radio buttons on the UI without a bang to just manually route. if you want to explicitly specify which output is allowed through, go inside the abstraction and add an inlet wired to the input of the hradio object, sending numbers between 0-3 (or maybe 1-4)
