    chnmix aval, Sname

## Initialization

Sname -- a string that indicates which named channel of the software bus to write.

## Performance

aval -- the audio signal to write at performance time.

## Examples

Here is an example of the chnmix opcode. It uses the file chnmix.csd.

Example 102. Example of the chnmix opcode.
