signal

By convention, a Max for Live gets all its audio from the Live application using the plugin~ object and sends its audio output using the plugout~ object. This audio output is limited to two channels.

Output

signal

When used in Max, the signal output of the plugout~ object is simply its signal input. When used in the runtime plug-in environment, the signal output to the outlets is undefined, and the input is copied to the audio outputs of the plug-in.
