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 896), which features several—

functionally different—outputs. Other special objects include cable switchers (see

Cable Switchers

” on page 929) and the Physical Input object (see “

Physical Input and

Sequencer Input Objects

” on page 911). 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 896) 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.

The monitor object allows you to view the MIDI events flowing through it.

To select a common destination for several existing cables:

1

Select the cables.

Tip: If the cables are already connected to a common destination, the simplest way of
doing this is to select the destination object.
