Note Merge node: controls, inputs and a free patch

Note Merge

The note system's fan-in counterpart to Note Router: merges up to 4 note streams into one output in timestamp order, keeping each input's notes as independent voices so two sources playing the same pitch at once sound as two overlapping notes instead of colliding.

What it does

Note Merge is a note node: it makes, filters or changes notes before a synth plays them. It takes notes in and gives notes out.

Try it

Merge a live keyboard and an Arpeggiator into one stream so you can play live over your own pattern.
