*~
Multiply two signals
Description
*~ is a signal multiplier-operator that outputs a signal which is the multiplication between two signals.
Arguments
initial-multiplier[number]
optional
Sets an initial value by which to multiply the signal coming into the left inlet. If a signal is connected to the right inlet, the argument is ignored. If no argument is present, and no signal is connected to the right inlet, the initial value is 0 by default.

color[4 floats]
Sets the color for the object box outline.
fontface[int]
Sets the type style used by the object. The options are:
plain
bold
italic
bold italic
Possible values:
0 = 'regular'
1 = 'bold'
2 = 'italic'
3 = 'bold italic'
fontname[symbol]
Sets the object's font.
fontsize[float]
Sets the object's font size (in points).
Possible values:
'8'
'9'
'10'

'30'
'36'
'48'
'64'
'72'
hint[symbol]
Sets the text that will be displayed in as a pop-up hint when the user moves the mouse over the object in a locked patcher.
ignoreclick[int]: 0
Toggles whether an object ignores mouse clicks in a locked patcher.
jspainterfile[symbol]
You can override the default appearance of a user interface object by assigning a JavaScript file with code for painting the object. The file must be in the search path.
patching_rect[4 floats]: 0. 0. 100. 0.
Sets the position and size of the object in the patcher window.
position[2 floats]
write-only
Sets the object's x and y position in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation), leaving its size unchanged.
presentation[int]: 0
Sets whether an object belongs to the patcher's presentation.
presentation_rect[4 floats]: 0. 0. 0. 0.
Sets the x and y position and width and height of the object in the patcher's presentation, leaving its patching position unchanged.
rect[4 floats]
write-only
Sets the x and y position and width and height of the object in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation).
size[2 floats]
write-only
Sets the object's width and height in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation), leaving its position unchanged.
textcolor[4 floats]
Sets the color for the object's text in RGBA format.
textjustification[int]
Sets the justification for the object's text.
Possible values:
0 = 'left'
1 = 'center'
2 = 'right'
varname[symbol]
Sets the patcher's scripting name, which can be used to address the object by name in pattr, scripting messages to thispatcher, and the js object.
Messages
int
In left inlet: A factor by which to multiply 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: A factor by which to multiply 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.
- input
[int]
float
In left inlet: A factor by which to multiply 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: A factor by which to multiply 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.
- input
[float]
signal
In left inlet: The signal is multiplied by 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 multiplied by 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.
Output
signal
The product of the two inputs.
