Select lanes extracts a contiguous range of lanes from a control bundle. Use several to split a sensor's lanes apart.

What it does#

Selection is set in the node's configuration, not by a knob, in the same way as Select channels for audio: the first lane to keep (counting from 1) and the number of lanes to keep. The kept lanes become the output, in order, and a range that falls outside the incoming bundle is rejected. The node has no parameters.

When to use it#

Use it to pull one lane out of a multi-lane source, such as one band of Band energies or the gate of a MIDI-to-control bundle, or place several side by side to split a bundle into separate paths. To rejoin lanes use Combine lanes.

Ports#

Parameters#

This node has no numeric parameters.

Tips#

• To split a bundle completely, use one Select lanes node per lane.
• A destination that expects one lane needs a single-lane selection.

Each help patch is an ordinary Toy that teaches one idea. The diagram shows the Patch; the preview shows its Frame. Open it in TuneToys to play and edit it.

Connections as text

• Oscillator audio output connected to Patch outputs audio input
• Constant control output connected to Select lanes control input

• The constant has three lanes. Select lanes keeps lane 2 only.
• The range is set in the node's lane configuration, not by a knob.
