Mixer

A 'Mixer' in Turbo Play defines 2 things:

• A device that can configure the state of another device.
• A Visual Linker object that can configure mixing, sharing and resampling.
  

Device Mixer

• The mute state
• The activity state
• The volume
• The pan
• The runtime effects.

The following objects all have states:

• 6 Master devices (Master In, Master Midi In, Master Audio In, Master Midi Out, Master Audio Out, Master Out)
• Each track.
• Each link.
• Each audio input or output port in a VST.
• Each input or output port in an ASIO driver.

A mixer can be shown in 3 different places:

• The Mixer Window which is a separate window that holds mixers. To show a mixer window, press F3. Turbo Play can create many mixer windows per project.
  
  
  
  
• The Small Mixer area just above the browser and just right of the transporter.
  
  
• A Mixer Track, which is a special track that can hold mixers. In its expanded state it shows the full mixers, in its closed state it displays small mixers.
  
  

The mixer windows also allows the creation of multipan controls. Unlike other application's pan controls (which only configure sound in a left-right stereo basis), Turbo Play's multipan controls are lot more powerful.

Shared mixers

A shared mixer allows a 3rd party application to access Turbo Play! data. This is mainly for developers; Contact me if you want to take advantage of this in your own applications.
