waveform~@buffername

I have a buffer~ called "control"

When I type in the object waveform~@control , it always shows up blank ( or any other name for that matter )
I have toe explicitly send it the message set control

What could be wrong

'@' symbol is a special reserved symbol for attribute names, and 'buffername' is the attribute name you want to use to set the referenced buffer~'s name(there's always a space before the '@' symbol, but no space between '@' symbol and an attribute's name such as 'buffername'), so if you need to instantiate waveform~ set to your buffer named 'control', you type into a new object box:

waveform~ @buffername control

I knew it was something obvious
