Signal inputs for a patcher loaded by poly~

mc.in~

Description

The mc.in~ object receives signals from multiple inlets to the poly~ object (or multiple channels within the input to mcs.poly~), and outputs those signals as one multichannel signal. The number of signal inlets is determined by the chans attribute.

Arguments

Specifies the starting inlet number in a poly~ object (default 1). If an argument of 2 is given, signal inlets will start with the second inlet and continue based on the number of input channels specified with the chans attribute.
