The :sound_out FX routes audio to both its outer FX context and a specific hardware output channel

:sound_out output: N sends audio both to the FX context’s outer chain (normal signal flow) and directly to sound card output channel N as a mono mix. :sound_out_stereo uses two consecutive channels for stereo. Setting amp: 0 on the FX block silences the outer context signal, routing only to the hardware output. This enables multi-channel audio routing for multi-speaker setups, stem separation, or feeding separate hardware from specific channels.

Examples

with_fx :sound_out, output: 3 do sample :bd_haus end

Assessment

Design a setup that routes kick drum to output 1 and bass synth to output 3 for separate hardware processing. Explain what happens to the main stereo output.
