Audio output and on/off button ezdac~ works as a user interface version of the dac~ object. It appears as a button which can be clicked with the mouse to turn audio on or off. Cycling '74 MSP MSP I/O MSP U/I (signal) start/stop, Audio Out Ch 1 TEXT_HERE (signal) Audio Out Ch 2 TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Enable/disable audio processing A non-zero number turns on audio processing in all loaded patches. 0 turns off audio processing in all loaded patches. Set the logical output channels for each signal inlet list comprised of integers, sets the logical output channels for each signal inlet in order from left to right. Click to enable/disable audio processing Clicking on ezdac~ toggles audio processing on or off. Audio on is represented by the object being highlighted. Enable audio processing in local patch and subpatches only The word local, followed by 1, makes a click to turn on an ezdac~ object equivalent to sending it the startwindow message. The message local 0 returns the ezdac~ object to its default mode where a click to turn it on is equivalent to the start message. Open the Audio Status window Opens the Audio Status window. The window is also brought to the front. Set the output channel for signal inlet where the set message was received In any inlet: The word set, followed by a number, sets the logical output channel for the signal inlet in which the set message was received. For instance, sending set 3 to the left inlet of ezdac~ makes the signal coming in the left inlet output to logical output channel 3.

Note that if the audio is on and you use the set message to change a ezdac~ to use logical channels that are not currently in use, no sound will be heard from these channels until the audio is turned off and on again. Function depends on inlet In left inlet: The signal is sent to audio output channel 1. The signal in each inlet must be between -1 and 1 to avoid clipping by the DAC.

In right inlet: The signal is sent to audio output channel 2. Turn on audio processing in all loaded patches. Turns on audio processing in all loaded patches. Enable audio processing in local patch and subpatches only Turns on audio processing only in the patch in which this ezdac~ is located, and in subpatches of that patch.
