I recently go the idea of how to pack several audio signals into one multichannel signal or a multicable. It does not work well when transported into or out of the poly~ objects but for other tasks it is straight forward. We are contemplating the possibility of using this solution in Jamoma in order to reduce the number of audio signals that have to be passed from one module to the next but I believe there are still a few wrinckles that needs to be ironed out before making the decision. Anyway it won’t happen before we have finished of the 0.300 release.
Lately I have been working on a number of modules for dealing with ambisonic signals in Jamoma. These modules tend to have 4 9 or 16 inlets and/or outlets depending on what order of ambisonic signal we use. This might be the first place were we start using this solution.
The patch itself can be found below.
