XOut send signal to a bus, crossfading with previous contents

Inherits from: Object : AbstractFunction : UGen : AbstractOut

*ar(bus, xfade, channelsArray) - crossfade an audio bus.

*kr(bus, xfade, channelsArray) - crossfade an control bus.

bus - the index, or array of indexes, of busses to write to. The lowest index numbers are written to the audio hardware.

xfade - crossfade level.

channelsArray - an Array of channels or single output to write out. You cannot change the size of this once a SynthDef has been built.

xfade is a level for the crossfade between what is on the bus and what you are sending.

The algorithm is equivalent to this:

bus_signal = (input_signal * xfade) + (bus_signal * (1 - xfade));

See the Server-Architecture and Bus helpfiles for more information on buses and how they are used.
