Fellow ChucKists,

Dr. Spankenstein (Rhys) and me just went over some topics on the forum and a question came up about .op(0) in relation to saving CPU time.

.op(0), according to the docs stops processing in the Ugen and makes it return only 0's but does that mean it also stops it from pulling Ugens before it in the chain like unchucking does? Clearly it's different from unchucking as .op(0) should allow Ugens after it to keep running (for example to avoid clicks caused by resonant filters dropping out) but I'm not sure how it relates to Ugens after it and can't find any documentation on this.

This could become relevant if low on CPU while wanting to preserve click-free sound quality.

Yours,
Kas.
