I am creating a virtual mixer - i have 8 channels all running from seperate adc~. the signal is fed into 3 reson eqs with fixed band settings at 250, 1000 and 6000 hz with a q of 2 and an adjustable gain by rotary. I would like to have a toggle or gate that bypassed the EQ and goes straight into the slider. What is the best way to do this? a gate will not work as it only deals with data and not signal. i used a toggle switch but that sets the rotary to the value to the switch with is 0 or 1.

Also i want a number box to take a value between 50 - 900. at times the incomming value will jump to 1000 (its a sensor) - i want the value in the number box to stay at the value it was before it jumped to 1000 even tho there may be a continous value of 1000 pumped in until the sensor activates again and gives a proper value.

I have tried using the if statement but i am unsure how to get it to hold the value it was before the value jump. i was thinking to set the if arguments as is Si1 < 900 then $i1 but if the value comming from si1 is constantly shooting 1000 will this send that value before the if command takes place?

The [matrix~] object provides for gating and routing signals, as does [selector~] - note the tilde symbol in both.

I'm not totally clear what your second issue is, but it sounds like you might need a combination of some or all of the following objects: [change], [togedge] and [int].

I would probably use [selector~] for your first problem, although there are advantages to going with some logic and [*~]

As far as the second problem goes, perhaps [split 50 900] would be useful.

so will selector let me select where to send the audio source and I assume split will just take the values in between 50 -    100?

selector~ selects between inputs; there's also gate~ which routes one source to several outputs.

Yes, split sends its range of numbers to its main outlet, with the numbers outside of that range going to a different outlet. Also see clip.

Does anyone know what could be the best way to resolve his first problem but let's say that in place of the EQ we have a CPU hog vst ? And we want to reduce the CPU load when the vst is bypassed.

perfect selector~ did the job. I managed to use combination of number boxes and an if statement for the other thing but i do have 2 more questions to any one can help.

If i split an audio channel from a adc and send that into 3 different sliders and then the three outputs of those sliders into a single slider - will i get all of the signals stacked on top of each other? What is the way to mix 3 signals properly without them distorting/clipping 3 fold?

I am using number boxes to give fixed values to the q and fc of reson (because the first value is adjustable). Problem is, when i fix the numbers in a number box using the max and min attributes in the inspector the reson eq does not work. to get it to work i need to change the number on in the cue box (as if the reson or the number box needs a bang to output the value). i have tried metro to send auto bangs to the number box to no avail. what is going wrong?

Could somebody please help? very new to max so please be patient and explain,
