a streamselector with 2 inputs uses 12 cycles on my machine. a custom code written selector can be hopped, but does not shut down the process behind. for control streams this would be very nice to have a stream selector with hop, easily saving ~10 cycles per selector. or maybe you could implement a shutdown command in the code component, so we can decide when things need to be running.

The Selector & Multiplexer in Stream/Poly/Mono/Pack4 on my Core2 seems to use only 2 cycles on multiple tests, but I recall they used 14-15 on my AMD64 laptop.
I think you have a good idea, but unfortunately my instinct says the hop() causes clicks on the Multi Stage Envelope, & would be likely to cause clicks in a Selector since it may be several samples before it clicks over. The hop() itself also takes a few cycles, so it will be even slower on many machines.
Maybe a simpler 2-input "Poly Select" could be faster for those slower CPUs? Or add the ability to shut down an input to ASM could be better, so one can merge Selector with ASM?

Stream Selector ?

thanks for mentioning it acrobat, but this selector does not shutdown the process behind it. btw wierd that the selector uses 10% cycles on a core2 compared to the amd..

Mmh...well instead of shutting down a stream, why don't you try to use it for another function? (If you can't beat em, make'em good friends) 😀

I am with you on this....I want to be able to shutdown a stream with a code... 🙂

+1 I'm starting to see advantages to this.
