The toolbox uses the following convention: a named array is expected to have a name, followed by -x where x is the 'channel' number, 0-indexed. For instance, a stereo source buffer defined as 'mybuf' will expect an array named 'mybuf-0' for the left channel, and an array named 'mybuf-1' for the right channel. A utility [multiarray.pd] is used throughout the helpfiles in conjonction with the [clone] to programmatically generate such 'multichannel' buffers. - -#### Enjoy! - - -## Known issues: -- pd is single threaded so doing buffer ops will do bad things to realtime audio. -- providing 'multichannel' arrays not enough in numbers (aka channels) will crash Pd.
