Making Multiple Cable Connections
There is no limit to the number of cables that you can plug in to a destination object.
All MIDI signals are mixed at the object’s input.
To make multiple output connections from an object:
1 Connect the object to the desired destination object, following one of the two
methods outlined above.
Once an output from an object is used (cabled to another object), another output
triangle automatically appears.
2 Use the second output triangle to create a second cable connection to a further
destination object.
Once this is done, a third output triangle will appear, and so on.
Some objects have special outputs, and are exceptions to this rule. This includes
channel splitters (see “
Channel Splitter Object ” on page 915), which features several—
functionally different—outputs. Other special objects include cable switchers (see
“
Cable Switchers ” on page 950) and the Physical Input object (see “ Physical Input and
Sequencer Input Objects ” on page 930). In these objects, each output can only be used
once.
To route the signal of the special output objects outlined above to several
destinations:
1 Create a monitor object (see “ Monitor Object ” on page 915) by choosing New >
Monitor.
2 Plug the cable from the desired object output into the monitor object.
3 Cable from the monitor object to as many other destinations as you’d like.
