Description

Turn off instance(s) of other instruments at performance time.

Syntax

turnoff2 kinsno, kmode, krelease

turnoff2_i insno, imode, irelease

Initialization

insno -- instrument to be turned off (can be fractional) if zero or negative, no instrument is turned off

imode -- sum of the following values:

0, 1, or 2: turn off all instances (0), oldest only (1), or newest only (2)
4: only turn off notes with exactly matching (fractional) instrument number, rather than ignoring fractional part
8: only turn off notes with indefinite duration (p3 < 0 or MIDI)

irelease -- if non-zero, the turned off instances are allowed to release, otherwise are deactivated immediately (possibly resulting in clicks)

Performance

kinsno -- instrument to be turned off (can be fractional) if zero or negative, no instrument is turned off

kmode -- sum of the following values:

0, 1, or 2: turn off all instances (0), oldest only (1), or newest only (2)
4: only turn off notes with exactly matching (fractional) instrument number, rather than ignoring fractional part
8: only turn off notes with indefinite duration (p3 < 0 or MIDI)

krelease -- if non-zero, the turned off instances are allowed to release, otherwise are deactivated immediately (possibly resulting in clicks)

	Note
	As a rule of thumb, you should turn off instruments with a higher instrument number than the one where turnoff is called, as doing otherwise might cause initialization issues.
