Just saw in the M4L tutorial (Building audio delays - M4L.dl.09.BeatSync) an example of sending list to a '*' object as a left and right operands. If this is documented anywhere?

Not sure where it is documented, but if you send a list into an object with several inlets, the list will be unrolled - so to speak- across the inlets. so if you send the list "4 5" into the left inlet of a [* ] you really tell it to do 4 *5, since the "5" will be used by the right inlet.

Hope this helps.


It's in Reference for all the arithmetic objects (+ - * / %)

list: In left inlet: the first number is added to the second number, and the result is sent out the inlet.

Not right: unfortunately list is just missed from the Reference to '*' object. This is why I asked the initial question.

So, there is a request to the developers: please, add the list to the '*' Reference!

This has been added for the next incremental. Thanks for noticing.

You're right that it should be explicitly in [* Reference] as well, but after seeing it in practically every other multi-inlet object, one starts to grok that it's a general convention supported by most objects.
