selector~ stereo inputs

Hi,
I was wondering if I use selector and send a stereo audio to ONE of its input, will I get a sum of both or just one channel out the output of selector~? I know I can set selector~ to have multiple inputs but I need to send them out together.
Also is selector~ the best way to set up an option to select between multiple streams of audio? Example being a effect bypass control. One stream of audio has the processed sound and the other doesn't.

Thanks in advance.

for stereo you'd need two selectors:

From the technical view "stereo" means just two channels. If you send both to one input, you mix them down to one channel and this is not what you want. You could use two [selector~] objects but there is a better way:

Try the [matrix~] object, I think this is what you need.

Using two selector objects and using a common switch. wow. I didn't even think about that. haha. Thanks a lot Terry.
I feel the matrix object is a bit too advanced for what I want. I also need to have a switch rather than a matrix.

but thanks for both the inputs.
