Combine lanes concatenates two control bundles into one, preserving every lane without mixing.
What it does#
Input A's lanes come first, followed by input B's lanes, so a two-lane A and a three-lane B give five lanes. Nothing is added or averaged. The node has no parameters. It is the control-domain counterpart of Combine channels.
When to use it#
Use it to gather several single-lane sources into one bundle that travels on one cable, or to join groups of lanes. To add or multiply two signals lane by lane use Math.
Ports#
| Port | Direction | Signal | Lanes |
|---|---|---|---|
a | Input | Control | Inferred from the cable |
b | Input | Control | Inferred from the cable |
control | Output | Control | Inferred from the cable |
Parameters#
This node has no numeric parameters.
Tips#
- Chain two to join three or more bundles.
- The output lane count is the sum of the two inputs.

Output gain. Range: 0–0.5 ×. Default: 0.12 ×. Linear scale. Units: linear gain.

Selects the implemented algorithm. Choices are discrete and are not LFO targets. Range: 0–7. Default: 0. Linear scale. Units: unitless.
Cycle offset; Gate rising edges restart phase from this position. Range: 0–1 cycles. Default: 0 cycles. Linear scale. Units: cycles.

Pitch offset in cents. Range: -1200–1200 cents. Default: 0 cents. Linear scale. Units: cents.

On or off. A rising edge retriggers; held on runs the oscillator or envelope. A control cable switches it at 0.5. Range: 0–1. Default: 1. Linear scale. Units: unitless.
Semitones a full pitch bend on the MIDI input moves the note, up or down. Range: 0–48 st. Default: 2 st. Linear scale. Units: st.
st
Time constant of the slide from one MIDI note's pitch to the next; 0 jumps. Range: 0–2000 ms. Default: 0 ms. Linear scale. Units: ms.

Connections as text
- Oscillator audio output connected to Patch outputs audio input
- Constant “left” control output connected to Combine lanes a input
- Constant “right” control output connected to Combine lanes b input
- Each constant has one lane. Combine lanes puts them in one bundle: lane 1 from A, lane 2 from B.
- Nothing is mixed.
