Re: [sc-users] Channel Expansion and Out.ar/kr

[James Harkins <jamshark70@xxxxxxxxx>]

If it did multichannel-expand the channel array, Out.ar(0, aStereoSignal) would produce two Out ugens. One multichannel out is (IIUC) more efficient -- more so if you're running 8, 16 or more channels.

Hey

Why doesn't do Out.ar its channel expansion not like allmost all other UGens?

suppose this:

{

var outs = [1, 6, 9];

var srcs = SinOsc.ar([200, 800, 1000]) * 0.2;

Out.ar(outs, srcs).postln

}.play

I get sound from channels 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 instead of 1, 6, 9 as I expected.

Why? and maybe I am missing something obvious here... (surely I do).
