Mixer Channels

Mixer channels are accessed via the Mixer Console, not through track object .channel property. Use console.getChannelList(type) to retrieve different channel lists.

See Channel Object for MusicTrack and AudioTrack channels (accessed via the .channel property).

Channel Types

Each channel list entry has a channelType string that identifies its role.

Channel List Types:

Type	Contents	Example channelType values
1	Normal mixer channels	AudioSynth, AudioTrack, AudioAux, MusicTrack, AudioEffect, AudioGroup, AudioVCA
2	Sub-output busses	AudioOutput
3	Master output + listen bus	AudioOutput, AudioListenBus
4	Hardware inputs	AudioInput

var console = context.functions.root.environment.find("MixerConsole");
var normal    = console.getChannelList(1);  // All mixer channels
var subOuts   = console.getChannelList(2);  // Sub-output busses
var master    = console.getChannelList(3);  // Master + listen bus
var hwInputs  = console.getChannelList(4);  // Hardware inputs

Each getChannelList(type) returns an object for iterating and accessing channels:
