Selection is set in the node's audio configuration, not by a knob. The first selected channel (counting from 1) and the number of channels to keep are set in the Channels section of the node's Properties. The selected lanes become the output, in order. A range that falls outside the incoming bundle is rejected. The node has no parameters.
Use it to pick one lane from a multichannel source, or place several selectors side by side to split a bundle into separate paths. To rebuild a bundle use Combine channels. To reorder or mix lanes use Channel matrix.
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.
1. Pick one channel from a bundle
beginner Teaches: multichannel
Split a two-channel bundle and keep only channel 2.

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.

The selector starts at channel 2 and keeps 1 channel. You only hear the triangle.
Select the node and open its audio channel settings to change the range.
