LNX_Out

Performs many common functions on a signal or an array of signals and sends them to an outbus and effects bus. It can filter bad numbers (infinities, NaN's and denormals), remove DC offset, clip the signal to the range (-2..2), mix down multi channel expansion to a stereo pair and pan the final result. OffsetOut is used to Output the signal to a bus with accurate timing.

LNX_Out.new(signal, out, amp, pan, sendOut, sendAmp, protect, mix, scaleVolume, leak)

• signal - an Array of channels or single output to write out. You cannot change the size of this once a SynthDef has been built.
• out - the index of busses to write to. The lowest index numbers are written to the audio hardware.
• amp - the amplitude of the signal to send.
• pos - pan position, -1 is left, +1 is right
• sendOut - the index of busses for the effect send.
• sendAmp - the amplitude of the signal to the effect send.
• protect - Boolean, if true it will filter infinities, NaN's and denormals from the signal.
• mix - will mix down an array of signals larger than 2 to a stereo pair for output. Alternate items are mixed to the left and right busses.
• scaleVolume - will scale the overall volume by the number of signals mixed together. This helps keep the volume at a sensible level when doing multichannel expansion.
• leak - will leak any DC offset from the signal.

By default protect, mix and scaleVolume are true and leak is false.

See the Bus helpfile for more information on buses and how they are used.

This is how LNX_Out is used in the default SynthDef template.
