multiplying floats

hi forum,

i am multiplying two (7bit) MIDI faders to gain higher resolution (8bit) for a DMX signal.

so far this is what i got:

it works. but it seems unelegant?

also, if i replace the ‘* 1.’ with a simple ‘*’ the floats get treated as integers. is there a way to force float multiplication without predefining the second component?

cheers,

In this case it might be easier to use [pak 0. 0.] into your [* 1.] object.
