choosing [adc~] input with one [adc~]...

    hello all,
    this is just a quick question to ask if anyone does know.
    how do you choose different inputs off of one [adc~]. basically i want to have the choice of switching inputs on a patch with audio feeding in and just having one [adc~]. i have a [tab] which i have connected to some messages that i want to use to change the input when i want to. i have tried different ways but can not seem to come up with the goods.
    yes, i have looked on the help patch, there is nothing. also i have looked in the archives, but there is nothing i can find on it.
    hope someone can help, cheers...
    p.s. so if anyone, is going to be really sarcastic, or have a go at me because their head is bigger in this field, dont bother. all i have seemed to have gotten on the forum recently is grief from people when i ask a question or answer one. i am here to ask questions, not have abuse or insults thrown at me for no reason.

      Would something like this work?

      that is close, but is more so just one outputting [adc~]. rather than having 1-8 on the [adc~], if you get me. i did do something like that before (but using [tab] instead), but would prefer just one single outputted [adc~] if i dont get it in the end, its no big lose. i will just go back to the other idea.
      i am trying to remember one patch done years ago that had what i am on about, but that was a year or more ago and cant remember where it has gotten to.
      but thank you for your reply anyhow...

      not sure I quite understand what you are trying to do, but maybe [adstatus input] does what you are looking for?

      well what i have tried before is this:-
      but that does not work at all (but more so the idea for what i would like). that is what i am trying to do. is have a message to then set the [adc~] to a certain input. what i am working on is an six channel audio manipulator, and this is the sort of thing i would like.
      cheers...

      from the helpfile:
      set logical-output-channel [int]logical-input-channel [int]
      The word set, followed by two numbers, sets the logical input channel for one of the object's signal outlets. The first number specifies the outlet number, where 1 is the leftmost outlet. The second number specifies the logical input channel (from 1 to 512). If the second number is 0, the outlet sends out the zero signal.
      I have never tried this myself but looks like you need two arguments, not just one.

      I can't test this right now, but according to the documentation your messages should read "1 1", "1 2", etc.
      The first number specifies the outlet number, where 1 is the leftmost outlet.
      glad this helped.

      You don't need the [route] and individual messages. Try using [prepend] or the $1 variable in a message. Also note that the leftmost outlet is number 1 rather than 0.

      thats great man. less code and all that i will use that idea as it is less cumbersome.
      much thanks to you both. i totally forgot about [prepend], because that is great object to do these type of message sending.
      again, thanks to you both...
