I am creating a PD patch for a university project where i have 3 different video renders separated using pix_separator. However i would like to be able to use audio to switch between them. So for example i could set 3 different volume thresholds that trigger bangs to different video renders. However when the threshold changes and sends a bang to the second render i also need it to turn of the previous render.

Can anyone tell me how i can go about building a switch that can be triggered using a microphone input in PD. That is capable of turning items on and off???

Anyhelp would be much appreciated as i am really struggling with this
.
Thanks alot

What signal or message do you need to turn off the video renders?

i need to audio signal to send a bang to the spigot item

3 spigots controlled by loudness

[spigot] controlled by right inlet, 1 turns on, 0 turns off

[mutex3] makes sure each of the other spigots is turned off when one is on

[env~] detects RMS level 0 - 100 in dB (log scale) = FSD

[- 50] scales it to ignore very quiet sounds

[/ 100] to get it in range 0 - 1

• <--- scale here to add more items

There's possibly a simpler way to do this. Do you understand it okay?

I dunno, this might work.... Dinner is ready. OK Bye.

Good thinking, hmm... you could lose two of the [env~] units.... then you'll have time for more pudding

There's a way with [moses] too.
