Messages

int

In left inlet: An offset to add to the signal coming into the right inlet. If a signal is connected to both left and right inlets, a float or int connected to either inlet will be ignored.

In right inlet: An offset to add to the signal coming into the left inlet. If a signal is connected to both left and right inlets, a float or int connected to either inlet will be ignored.

Arguments:
  • offset [int]

float

In left inlet: An offset to add to the signal coming into the right inlet. If a signal is connected to both left and right inlets, a float or int connected to either inlet will be ignored.

In right inlet: An offset to add to the signal coming into the left inlet. If a signal is connected to both left and right inlets, a float or int connected to either inlet will be ignored.

Arguments:
  • offset [float]

signal

In left inlet: The signal is added to the signal coming into the right inlet, or a constant value received in the right inlet. All signal inputs to a single inlet are summed. If a signal and number are both sent to the left inlet, the specified operation will be performed with those values.

In right inlet: The signal is added to the signal coming into the left inlet, or a constant value received in the left inlet. All signal inputs to a single inlet are summed.
