## Overview

This mod adds nodes to control the flow of digiline messages in various ways, and is designed to be a more streamlined replacement for [`digiline_routing`](https://github.com/numberZero/digiline_routing).

## Nodes

- **Filter** - only lets messages with the correct channel pass through.
- **Limiter** - limits the rate at which messages can pass through.
- **Diode** - only lets messages pass through in one direction.
- **Splitter** - splits messages into two branches, and stops messages going between the branches.
- **Tri-Splitter** - same as Splitter, but splits into three branches.
