its a solution, but it wont work well for us because i want the performance system to be as consistant as possible so im not on stage scratchin my chin and thinking about which inlet does what. so i want all my abstractions first inlets to be action inlets, so for instance a sampler might take an audio signal and a 1/0 to turn sampling on off... i want to just plug an audio stream and a toggle into the first inlet instead of having to wrapperize the toggle to get it to work. its looking like i can't easily get what i want and am just going to have to have 1, 2, or 3 hot inlets depending on the object type (mono inlet~, mono inlet~ w/2nd hot control inlet, stereo inlet~, or stereo inlet~ w/3rd hot control inlet). of course being able to have tooltips on mouseover of an inlet like previously discussed here would make this less annoying, but for now i'm just going to have to be scratchin my chin...

could you convert the control messsages to a signal that is in the range of original signal + 1 kinda thing, then use a high pass to get it back? kindof like a mux/demux?

well there are objects like snapshot~ that take both type, so it seems to me (from my "never written a C pd object" perspective) that it should be possible to have an object with 1 inlet~, 1 outlet~ and 1 outlet that would split the inlet~ data according to its type. if a) this doesnt exist in some current form, or b) it not impossible do to something about the internals of pd i dont get, perhaps this would be a good first object for me to try

hi Josh,
no, you would need numbered inlets, like those used in poly~ abstractions in Max. Otherwise, it would be hard to sort out control messages that are meant to feed tilde objects from those that are not (which is the case with regular inlets in Max).

hey folks, is it possible with abstractions to split control messages out of a [inlet~]? i've got a sound processing object which takes audio
