I have a noise~ plugged in to a peek~, and I'm using count~ to periodically sample it into peek~'s buffer.

I expect that when peek~ receives -1 to its sample index inlet, that it will not write to the buffer. However, my patch seems to write to index 0, even when it is receiving -1 as its index.

The poke object inside gen~ has an overdub inlet. This gives control to whether a value is written or not.

With or without gen~, your patch works fine here. Nothing gets written with index -1.

Note that if you were to disconnect the input, it would becomes a "0", and a sample would be repeatedly written at position 0.

but that might poduce errors in the console, it will also only be a dirty workaround.

Thanks all! It's very strange but now having restarted Max I'm not seeing the issue any more. I must have had a patch open that was writing to the specific buffer.

peek~ won't "write to -1", keeps writing at 0...
