Make multiple cable connections
There is no limit to the number of cables that you can plug in to a destination object. All MIDI
signals are mixed at the object’s input.
Make multiple output connections from an object
1 Connect the object to a destination object.
Once an output from an object is used (cabled to another object), another output triangle
automatically appears.
2 Use the second output triangle to create a second cable connection to another
destination object.
Once this is done, a third output triangle appears, and so on.
Some objects have special outputs, and can’t be connected this way. One example is channel
splitter objects, which feature several (functionally dierent) outputs. Other special objects
include cable switchers and physical input objects. With these objects, each output can only be
used once.
Route the signal of special object outputs to several destinations
1 Create a monitor object by choosing New > Monitor.
2 Plug the cable from the desired object output into the monitor object.
3 Create a cable from the monitor object to as many other destinations as you wish.
The monitor object allows you to view the MIDI events owing through it.
Connect several cables to a common destination
1 Select the cables.
Tip: If the cables are already connected to a common destination, the simplest way to do this is
to select the destination object.
2 Drag one of the cables to a new destination object.
You’re asked if you want to connect all selected cables to the new destination.
3 Click Connect, or press Return.
