Cabling Serially and in Parallel

You can cable objects in series or in parallel. Cabling objects in series is handy for
quickly connecting groups of faders used to control a MIDI mixing console, for
example.

To cable a group of objects serially:

m

Select all objects you want to cable, then choose Options > Cable serially.

The objects will be cabled in series, starting with the top-left object.

To cable a group of the same type of object (transformers, faders, and so on) to a
common destination:

1

Cable one of the source objects to the destination.

2

Select the destination object and choose Edit > Copy.

3

Select the other objects that you want to connect to the same destination, and choose
Options > Apply Buffer Template to > Cable(s).

You can copy more complex cabling configurations this way, too. Just ensure that the
type(s) of objects in the group that you wish to copy matches the type(s) of objects in
the group that you apply the buffer template to.
