Hi folks,

Ran into a puzzle today. Oftentimes I need to toggle between two inputs, rather than just using spigot to toggle one inout on/off. So far I've been able to manage, but I was wondering if there is a simpler way to do it.

Here's a patch to "switch" b/w two inputs:
switcher.pd

Is there an object that exists that can already do this? Also, what if I want to toggle between 3 or more inputs? I imagine I could hack together something convoluted with multiple [spigot], [== 0] (or most likely [hradio]) objects but I like simplicity!

Hi,

Try using [multiplex]. You can set as many inlets as you want, as in [multiplex 0 1 2 3 4], and the rightmost inlet will control the source of the data flow. That is, if you send a [0( to the rightmost inlet, the inlet no. 0 (i.e., the 1st one) will be active.

Take care,
Gilberto

That fits my needs exactly! Thanks for the tip!
