Hi,

I have a patch in which i need to co-ordinate the signals down two seperate signal chains so that a signal can only ever go down one chain at anyone time. Both signals will both just be a 1, they then need to continue on to their respectful destinations, but never on the same beat.


I hope this is clear, it's not easy to explain.

Please if anyone could help me with this it would be most appreciated.

Thanks

no a gate will not work for this, it only has one input that can be passed through it. Perhaps i did not explain myself well enough.

Imagine data A and data X travelling along parallel chains. I need data A to continue to destination B and X to continue to destination Y, without variation, with the exception that the two cannot happen at the same time...

please help me this is driving me crazy

thanks

3 gates maybe:
the first between A to B
the second between X and Y
the third opens and/or closes the previous two
Shocked

When A is hot the signal is routed to B. When X is hot, the A input is muted and output routed to Y?

to clarify:

if A is hot it's routed to B
if X is hot it's routed to Y
BUT if A and X are hot, only one of them conpletes it's journey to B or Y respectively, but it is not predetermined which one of these will take priority, it should be random for each decision.

So; you make three gates;

The first is open when A && !Y
The second is open when !A && Y
The third is open when A & Y

All of these are mutually exclusive and all get fed your input signal.

You then take some Xfade or switch type thingy, modulate it by a random value that switches it between the two extremes.

Finally you take a mixing thingy that feeds the first gate and the X fade's output to B and a second mixing thingy that takes the second gate and the Xfade and goes to B.

I'll leave it to you to translate that to Max but that's how I'd do it in other graphical systems. Fun puzzle.

Cracked it!!!

similar to what was suggested but not quite the same...

since the output of both data sources was always either 1 or 0 i just used two > commands to deal with the situations in which only one was non-zero,
then i used and && comand routed through a 50/50 random decision type thing to decide which note would play when both were hit.

thanks for your help

peace

Terminal 11 actually does something similar using the matrix objects in audio mulch... He takes beats he made and runs them into different fx chains using the matrix... Pretty interesting.
