Create a monitor object (see

Monitor Objects

) by choosing New > Monitor.

2

Plug the cable from the desired object output into the monitor object.

3

Cable from the monitor object to as many other destinations as you’d like.

The monitor object allows you to view the MIDI events flowing through it.

To select a common destination for several existing cables

1

Select the cables.

Tip: If the cables are already connected to a common destination, the simplest way of
doing this is to select the destination object.

2

Grab one of the cables, and plug it into the new destination object.

You are asked if you want to connect all selected cables with the new destination.

3

Click Connect, or press Return.

Cabling Objects Serially and in Parallel

You can cable objects in series or in parallel. Cabling objects in series is handy for quickly
connecting groups of faders used to control a MIDI mixing console, for example.

To cable a group of objects serially

µ

Select all objects you want to cable, then choose Options > Cable serially.

The objects are cabled in series, starting with the top-left object.

To cable a group of the same type of object (transformers, faders, and so on) to a
common destination

Cable one of the source objects to the destination.
