Hi Jeremy,

example code is attached (I hope attachmewnt will get through). It’s
basically the myregob example code extended in order to be a DSP object.
While hacking this together I noticed that in case I create one signal
inlet, my object shows up with 1 inlet and I can’t connect a signal to it.
In case I create the object to have 2 signal inlets, it has two inlets,
I stil can’t connect a signal to the first, but I can connect a signal
to the second inlet…

The crashes when I set up the signal inlet too early in the
mydspob_new() don’t happen with this code, so something else must be
wrong with my orignal code.

Thanks, that did the trick! :-)
