Does this really break a lot of your code? Or is it something that can be changed? Personally, I think the ability to map audio signal to controls is a pretty big step forward.
If you can think of another way to get a control to know the difference between control bus 0 and audio bus 0, please let me know. I would be more then happy to use it. But I can't think of another way. If there are a number of people that think we shouldn't do this, that is also fine, but it seems like a few of us really like the idea.
I'll try to work out other ways to do this as well... but if this functionality is wanted, for the time being, I really can't think of another way.

The control bus scheme has been documented since the first release of scsynth, and the documentation very clearly states: Synths can send control signals to each other via a single global array of control buses. Buses are indexed by integers beginning with zero. It's already straightforward to write a function that switches between reading from an audio or a control bus given a switching signal. s.boot; { var f = rrand(220.0, 880.0) ; var w = rrand(-1.0, 1.0) ; [f, w].postln ; s.sendMsg ("c_set", 0, f, 1, w) }.value { var offset = s.options.firstPrivateBus ; var bus_in = { arg r, i, nc ; var b = r > 0 ; var k = In.kr(i, nc) ; var a = In.ar(i + offset, nc) ; (b * k) + ((1 - b) * a) } ; var switch = In.kr(1, 1) ; Out.ar(offset, LFNoise0.ar(92) * 220 + 660) ; Out.ar(0, SinOsc.ar(bus_in.value(switch, 0, 1), 0) * 0.1) }.play _______________________________________________ sc-dev mailing list info (subscription, etc.): http://www.beast.bham.ac.uk/research/sc_mailing_lists.shtml archive: https://listarc.bham.ac.uk/marchives/sc-dev/ search: https://listarc.bham.ac.uk/lists/sc-dev/search/
