You mean: Why is there an event output on racks?

Well my first answer is: Because there could be a musical reason.
I mean: i want MU.LAB to be like a swiss knife: it looks simple, but in the end you can do a lot with it. It's the openess and modularity which makes it flexible.

Ok, a more concrete example:

Imagine you have a arpegiator in the rack and now you want to route it to multiple synths. Then you could hookup the synths to the rack event out.
Yes, there are other ways of doing this, but isn't having multiple options a good thing most of the time? Maybe there are better examples than the above one.

No! :hihi:

I know and can imagine, what I can use an event output for.
But if I take a look at a rack module in the modular area, the first blue triangle is the event output followed by 6 event sends...

What are those event sends for and how can one use them????

Perhaps I can answer the question myself:

Is it possible with those event sends to route the event output (e.g. 6 arpeggiators hosted in the 6 slots of a rack) of each slot individual to other targets???

And event output 1 sums all together???

If so (haven't tested yet) would be a cool feature and should definetely be documented...

If not, please correct me :-)

Yes, that's how it works.

I'll finetune the docs about the Racks.

I don't know, if I would find it and recognize it, if I had searched for it...
I think a screenshot and 1-2 examples would help a lot, because thematic, it's mixed with the audio sends many know and will overlook the little addition with events...

I've also added a picture to the docs now.

I'll more deeply revise all docs/tutorials when M4 is getting ready.

If you have any further questions, let me know! :)
