Select Out

Bitwig Platform

Select Out module panel in Bitwig Grid
Select Out in Bitwig Grid 6.0.6.

A signal-controlled binary distributor that sends one input to one of two output paths.

What it does

Select Out uses a low/high control signal to decide which destination receives the input. A low value selects Out 1 and a high value selects Out 2, making it a compact conditional router.

Controls and ports

Control Label Official description
logic_in Logic In Low value routes input to out 1;
high value routes input to out 2

Practical uses

  • Send alternating notes, triggers, or audio events into two different processors.
  • Route a signal into a normal branch or a special fill/feedback branch from logic.
  • Create conditional modulation destinations controlled by sequencers, comparisons, or gates.

Things to know

  • Low selects Out 1 and high selects Out 2 according to the installed description.
  • Unlike Toggle Out, the routing decision comes from an input cable.
  • The exact threshold and whether the non-selected output is hard-zeroed or faded are still unverified.
  • Sample-hard audio switching can click, so do not assume Toggle Out's recovered 10 ms crossfade also applies here.

Technical details

No Nitro implementation has been confirmed for this visible module. The behavior is described conservatively from module metadata and editorial research.

No exact Nitro body has been recovered. The documented routing can be represented conceptually as out1 = low(select) ? in : 0 and out2 = high(select) ? in : 0, but threshold ownership, smoothing, and the behavior of a stereo control pair are open. The generic Merge/Split Nitro bodies are multi-way continuous routers and are not treated as proof of this binary module's implementation.

Open questions

  • Measure threshold, equality ownership, negative values, stereo control reduction, and rapid switching.
  • Determine whether outputs overlap, leave a gap, or switch on the same sample.
  • Test disconnected outputs, reset/startup, voice scope, and non-finite control inputs.

Version and sources

Checked against Bitwig Studio 6.0.6. This page combines Bitwig's module metadata, the existing Grid course and guides, and Nitro analysis where the mapping is strong enough to support a technical statement.
