Hello,
[spigot] confuses me a little. It seems that the only creation argument that it accepts is a "zero". However, "zero" is the default state for spigot even without the creation argument?
true additionally, you could pass any symbol to the [spigot] object. however, this has no meaning too.
Would it make sense to re-write [spigot] to accept "0" or "1" as a creation argument which could then effectively be used to define its default state?
definitely. thomas' [gate] object does this, but i would rather have this functionality built into pd's spigot than use an external for such thing. on the other hand, you could open the [spigot] with a loadbang in most cases.
Can somebody clarify this issue for me?
not really. it seems, like miller did it in a hurry (in days yonder) and since it works, it was never touched again. since [spigot] is no max-object, there are no compatibility issues either.
