How can I do this??

This is not possible. In a signal connection there’s always signal
vectors going through. unless you stop the dac;)

After more work, I think I realize now that my problem is somewhere else in my patch anyway!!

Best,

I have been routinely using send/receive even for audio signals these days, based on previous list discussions.

However, I’ve found a relatively simple way in which regular send/receive don’t work right with audio signals – you must use send~/receive~.

Please see attached patch. If you turn on the DAC, load up an audio file, start it playing, then try to switch the gate to 2 to let the signal pass, you won’t hear anything.

The only way to get the patch to work is to convert all send/receive to send~/receive~.

I’m sure this has to do with delaying the audio by one vector’s worth of audio or something like that that I don’t fully understand! Maybe someone can explain it…

Thanks,
Dan

My understanding may be a bit rusty, but my assumption was that the
non-twiddle send/receive connections were followed at DSP compilation
time, and couldn’t be altered dynamically.
