signal
Receives a signal sent to a loaded poly object.
Output
signal
Each in~ object in a patcher loaded by the poly~ object appears as an inlet at the top of the poly~ object. Signals received at the first message inlet of the poly~ object are sent to the first in~ object (i.e., the in~ 1 object) in the loaded patcher, and so on. The number of total inlets in a poly~ object is determined by whether there are a greater number of in~ or in objects in the loaded patch (e.g., if your loaded patcher has three in~ objects and only two in objects, the poly~ object will have three inlets, two of which will accept both signals and anything else, and a third inlet which only takes signal input).
