jit.op can have "!" (logical-not), and of course objects like pack or trigger.

but it was most likely a custom patch they were using.

for example i have patcher which can compare two symbols. things ike that will take anything as argument: [110.sym_== !]

ah ha i got it actually i saw 'adsr~ !'
but that is meaningless. right? it's not error but nothing for basic function.

[adsr~] should only take numbers.

the reference shows something different, though... which seems a bit odd.

how do you type in milliseconds in atoms as arguments? :)

Yes, you're right. I understood that too, but I happened to see such a strange case and wondered, so I couldn't find the answer and even asked a question. Thank you for your conviction. Happy New Year.

most likely symbols resolve to 0. internally.
