Logic:Environment Object-Alias Assigner

From Sonikmatter

The Alias Assigner is a complex Cable Switcher.

To create a new Alias Assigner, from the Environment Pull-down Menu: New>Alias Assigner

While it can function as a regular Cable Switcher it has a separate ability to group switch or route input to groups of outputs. With this ability, a single Alias Assigner can basically perform the function of several Cable Switchers. Each Object that is connected to an output cable of the Alias Assigner becomes the first Object in a group as soon as an Alias is created for that Object. The Alias Assigner then assigns the first Object for each group to the first output of that group.

		(Arpeggiator 1) (Arpeggiator 2) (Arpeggiator 3) (Transformer) (Arpeggiator 4) (Transformer) (Transformer)		(Alias 1) (Alias 2) (Alias 3)
0 (Fader) >--->	------ ------ > > > > > > > ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- (Alias Assigner)		------ ------ ------

This is a basic representation, the first cable in each group is actually attached to the Alias for that group and there are black lines that represent the cable from the Alias to the active output.

The black lines on the Alias represent the group separation, or how many switches are available for this Alias Assigner. Since there are only 2 switches, the last Transformer will not become available. With the (Fader) at 0, the blue cables going to the Aliases are connected to the first Object in each group, when the (fader) is moved to 1 the blue lines move to the second object in each group.
