I'm working on a new patch and I've hit a new snag. I am relating audio

effects to visual representations. Think of this patch as a video effects

pedal board. I am going to have Delay, Phasor, Modulation, and Reverb from a

guitar effects processor connected to their own respective video effect.

The problem is I can't think of a way to route the

video effects in a parallel fashion instead of in series. I need the patch

to function so that if I disable one video effect it won't stop video

playback . I have tried using gates and that works to a certain extent but

eventually I will have to use my data management skills to figure out all

the possible outcomes and wire the gates for each one. That seems really

I want the video effects to work as if they are effects pedals. If I turn it

on , it applies it's effect to the video output. If I turn it off the dry

video signal is shown. If I have numerous effects on at the same time, they

all effect the same video in their ordering of routing and then output one

The Vizzie modules all do precisely this - the effect is toggled by clicking on the video display. You could take a look at the source for the modules (they're in the standard distribution) for one way to handle that. Might not be what you had in mind precisely, but it certainly works just fine.

Another suggestion is you might benefit from a little quality time with the online reference materials - specifically, bring up a jitter object page like jit.ameba, open the reference file, and then locate the line that says:

Information for Jitter Matrix Operator (MOP) messages and attributes to this object

Click through there and have a look at the outputmode attribute. Unless I misunderstand you, you might find something of use there, particularly since that attribute is in such common use among jitter objects.

Hope these suggestions are of some help.


Gregory is right; outputmode will do the trick for you. Using gate or ggate as a bypass switch does the same sort of thing.

Thanks guys, sorry for the late reply. Your suggestions helped me out!
