Notes node
Note Switcher
The note-cable counterpart of the image and 3D Switcher — cycles between up to four connected note sources on a timed interval or a manual slot, so a synth downstream hears only whichever source is currently active.

What it does
Note Switcher 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
Wire four different sequencers in and let it hard-cut between them every 4 beats for an evolving arrangement.
