Hi Guys, don't blame me,
i was trying to add a simple ON/OFF Button to toggle an OSC ouput ON/OFF... i am using a Toggle combined with a Multiplexer, but i am not sure how to connect them. (and also if it's the right choice) can anyone kindly explain me how to do that ? 😊

Three ways:
The first two will actually disable the OSC, causing it to stop working and thus save cpu. The third will just mute it, keeping it running, just temporarily disabling it and thus not reducing cpu.
I think whether you use version 1 or 2 is a matter of taste while version 3 is for the special case of not wanting the engine to recompile (sometimes connected to pops).

Hopefully i won't be annoying or anything saying this but isn't the examples area of the forum for posting example .osm files, i think maybe questions like this should go in another area of the forum, i may be wrong though 😕

Well, but there is no "I have a general problem" area, so posts like this come up in general and here. I think they're quite right here, as they serve as a good example 🙂

yes, iìm sorry.. teher is no "I NEED HELP" section in the forums... so thought EXAMPLES would be a good place to show, as stated, examples on "how to do this"
@moderators: maybe we should be open a "newbie/ I need help" section ???
@skore: many thanks.

Its cool, i just always thought that the examples area should be for sharing examples and not general questions, i agree with you, theres not really anywhere to put questions like that, i think there should be a newbie area also. Thats a good idea 🙂

What if I do this?
Will interrupting the input to an OSC also save cycles?

No it doesnt. Sound is requested from right to left, when the request arrives at the OSC it runs independently of what happens to the left of it.

Got it, thanks!

i decided to go as example #1... but if there are notes being played, and you click the On/off Button...CRASH... I think that the systemhas to "recompile" the signal flow...or what...? if I do the same WITHOUT playing notes..everything is OK..how can i avoid this?

Best wishes, FRitz
