audio routing with ll.blues
in many audio acts, there is a blue section with different audio controls called "ll.blues".
in most cases you will only need the volume-slider on top. and leave all other things untouched in its default state.
by default the audio is sent to ho st left and right output.
with the mix slider you have the possibility to send it somewhere else.
if the mix slider is all the way to the left (default, it appears fully "light blue" in color) ll.blues will send audio to the address indicated by the light blue menus (ho_st by default)
if the mix slider is all the way to the right (t appears fully "dark blue" in color) ll.blues will send to the address indicated by the dark blue menus
click on the x (at right of the menus) to change which output destination you want to view (light blue or dark blue)
if the mix slider is at the right (all dark-blue in appearance) audio is only sent to the destination selected with the dark blue menus
ramp offers a fade time for all the levels.
pfl (pre fade listening) is yet another output for sending the input signal of ll.blues before the vol-slider to an output channel that can be defined in "ho st* with *def. (useful with a soundcard and headphones..)
volume-handling options:
- v_vol - one volume slider for all channels.
- s_split_L/R - If 2 output-channels: - two separate sliders
- p_vol/pan - if 2 output-channels: pan the source-sounds (any amount of channels) with a pan-slider
meter options:
- meter post - the signal meter shows post-fade signal (default).
- meter pre - the signal meter shows what comes out of the act before the volume slider
- meter in - if there is an Input available (in mix slider is visible), the meter shows, what comes in link chans keep input-channels and output-channels be always equal
mix-adds
- when active, the mix slider only effects the level the dark blue section (so the light blue section is always at full volume)
info
- open "info" patch for ll.blues
depending on the act-design, this number can define how many channels of audio should be sent by this act. in most cases this also defines then the internal multichannel processing amount of an act.
lets you define how many channels should be sent out. it can be bigger or smaller than the incoming channel count. if smaller, the remaining channels will be mixed into the outgoing ones.
sometimes, there is an extra in mix slider, which indicates, that the act has a main audio input called "in".
the signal comimg in (another acts output sent to this in.put) will be fully routed into the act with in mix slider to the right (1., usually the default) and bypassed (routed to the acts output) with the in mix slider to the left (0.)
(this slider provides the same function as ll.inputmix.maxpat)
