Toggle Out

A click-reduced manual distributor that moves one signal between two output paths.

What it does #

Toggle Out sends one input toward Out 1 or Out 2. Instead of moving the signal instantaneously, it fades one branch down while fading the other up over a short interval.

Controls and ports #

Control	Label	Official description
routing	Routing	Connects either out port 1 (when off) or out port 2 (when on)

Practical uses #

• Route one oscillator or modulation source into either of two processing branches.
• Switch a signal between a main path and an alternate effect or feedback path.
• Build mutually exclusive destinations whose current state remains visible on the module.

Things to know #

• Off routes to Out 1 and on routes to Out 2.
• The two outputs overlap during the 10 ms smoothstep transition; they are not sample-exact mutually exclusive at that moment.
• The complementary gains sum to one, although downstream summing can still reveal phase or processing differences between the branches.
• Toggle Out is panel-state controlled; Select Out is intended for signal-controlled routing.

Technical details #

A high-confidence Nitro implementation candidate supports the technical summary, but the visible-module mapping remains inferred.

The exact grid/mix/grid_toggle_out body smooths the selector to p over 10 ms with p=x^2*(3-2x), then calculates out1=(1-p)*in and out2=p*in. Start/reset places the internal state immediately at the current selection.

Open questions #

• Measure the crossfade at several sample rates and under rapid state changes.
• Test whether disconnected outputs or downstream latency affect the visible routing state.
• Verify stereo-channel alignment, automation smoothing, and voice-local state.

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.
