outletkid

outletkid — Sends a krate signal out from an instrument to a named port.

Description

Sends a krate signal out from an instrument to a named port.

Syntax

outletkid Sname, SinstanceID, ksignal

Initialization

Sname -- String name of the outlet port. The name of the outlet is implicitly qualified by the instrument name or number, so it is valid to use the same outlet name in more than one instrument (but not to use the same outlet name twice in one instrument).

SinstanceID -- String name of the outlet port's instance ID. This enables the inlet to discriminate between different instances of the outlet, e,g. one instance of the outlet might be created by a note specifying one instance ID, and another instance might be created by a note specifying another ID. This might be used, e.g., to situate difference instances of an instrument at different points in an Ambisonic space in a spatializing effects processor.

Performance

ksignal -- krate output signal

During performance, the krate output signal is sent to each instance of an instrument containing an inlet port to which this outlet has been connected using the connect opcode. The signals of all the outlets connected to an inlet, but only those that have a matching instance ID, are summed in the inlet.
