A UGen that writes a signal onto a bus, delaying the signal such that the input
will begin to appear on the bus precisely when the encompassing Synth was
scheduled according to its OSC bundle. I.e. if the synth is scheduled to be
started part way through a control cycle, OffsetOut will maintain the correct
offset by buffering the output and delaying it until the exact time that the
synth was scheduled for.
This UGen adds ("mixes") the input-signal to the existing contents of the bus.
Multi-channel input signals, for example a PanAz , are written as such to the
bus without expansion. That is, the bus index argument is used for the first
channel, the second channel will appear on bus + 1 , etc.
If you have an expanding multi-channel input, however, you have to be careful.
For example, if you have
PanAz.ar(2, SinOsc.ar(Seq(444, 555, 666)) * 0.2, Seq(-1, 0, 1)) , this results
in one output UGen carrying one channel, and another one carrying two channels.
(The way this works is consistent with SCLang). In order to get the correct
behaviour (left outputs of the PanAz summed, and right output of the PanAz
summed), wrap this expression in a Mix(...) before passing it to the output
UGen.
'''Note''': You cannot currently achieve sample accurate scheduling in SuperCollider. This UGen is therefore more or less useless.
