selector~-always-closed-w-signal-input

The outlet of number~ doesn't pass through values at the input. It only outputs what is displayed when it's function is changed to 'constant generator'. This is done by clicking on the tilde.

thanks! although, that number box at the bottom always says zero

Selector~ always closed w/ signal input.
