Ports and connections

Type, shape and color describe what a wire carries. Types are not converted automatically.

Audio

A mono or stereo sound stream. Connects the input, effects and module output.

Input → Gain → Output

Eight types

Audio carries mono/stereo sound; Number is a numeric stream; Gate is a logical state; Integer is an integer. Array and List carry number collections. Buffer references delay storage. Function binds callable C++ functions.

What can connect

Connect an output and input of the same type. One output may feed multiple inputs, but each input has only one source. Function ports additionally require an exact signature match.

Array and List are different types. For nodes supporting both, choose the collection type in properties first. Connect Number and Integer through converters.

Required inputs of nodes used by the processing graph must be connected. Unused branches may remain in the project; they are not executed.

Feedback

A cycle without memory is rejected. History outputs its previous value before committing Next; Delay Buffer and Read Delay Tap provide explicit delay. Named Value alone does not break a cycle.

Recursive Function dependencies are forbidden. Buffer and Function cannot cross an oversampling boundary.

Add+ 0.1Next: 0.1

Click to advance one step. History returns its stored value first, then writes Next. This gives the feedback path memory.
