I have two oscillators with [*~] for separate volume, but I would like the two to be mixed together to then send to a [biquad] filter. How would I go about mixing the two? I presumed that it would be a case of using the [*~] object, however, I am having difficulty. Attached is the patch I am working on. It shows how I am patching, but I am using an object that may not work when copied.

amplitude of 2 down to 1:
