Output
(patcher)
Any messages received by an out object in a loaded patcher appear at the signal outlet of the poly~ or pfft~ object which corresponds to the number argument of the out object. The signal outputs in a poly~ or pfft~ object are a mix of the outputs of all instances of the patcher's outputs which correspond to that number.
