feature-request-in-takes-arguments-similar-to-param

I know this is a feature request, but this is what I would do - disclaimer, it's a hack:

Ha! brendan you're my best bud on here lately! Yeah, that works.

What I did was put it in an abstraction on add a patcherargs object. seems a tad clumsy though.

Also, It forgets the rest of the values when you attach a signal to it.

btw, your MY best bud, if memory serves correctly, you been away a while :) Learned a lot from your contributions here over the last 8 years or so!

Holy crap has it been that long?!?!? I got max for my twenty first birthday so... OH MY GOD 12 YEARS!!!!! Jesus H Christ.

audiomatt, what you wrote first works perfectly for me:

i think that got fixed in max 7.0.0, but i could be wrong. maybe before.

the problem with bredan's fix it that whatever gets sent in to that inlet will always be '+ 1'.

in general this means you can treat top level inlets like param declarations. in general i use params all the time and inlets only for audio rate sigs. that way it easier for me to follow / control where control-rate is.

OK, let me rework this feature request. I request DOCUMENTATION of the @default attribute.

Thank you so much. My patch will be a lot cleaner now!

you gotta be kidding - half the fun is trying to work it out :-) :-) :-)

well.. Yeah. It's been getting a little better. These guys work very hard. I've almost stopped missing the PDFs. I think I actually miss them because max was a lot less complicated (easier to document) when they were around.

@stkr, better eyes than mine, I missed that.
