Mix

Usine provides data mixing and routing modules for combining, selecting, and dispatching data flows. These modules are the data equivalents of audio mixers and routers.

Comparison Table

Module Routing Cross-fade Character
Selector N in → 1 out Yes (fractional selector) Selects one input among N, fractional values cross-fade between adjacent inputs
Mixer N in → 1 out Weighted sum Combines all inputs with individual mix weights (0..1 per channel)
Dispatch 1 in → N out No (integer only) Routes input to one of N outputs based on integer selector, non-selected outputs go to 0 or hold last value
Dispatch Crossfade 1 in → N out Yes (fractional selector) Routes input to N outputs with cross-fade, fractional selector distributes between adjacent outputs

Choosing the Right Module

To select one source among many:

  • Selector for choosing or cross-fading between N inputs into a single output

To blend multiple sources:

  • Mixer for weighted combination of all inputs into a single output

To route one source to many destinations:

  • Dispatch for hard switching to one output at a time
  • Dispatch Crossfade for smooth transitions when switching between outputs
