my abstraction accepts two creation parameters ($1, $2). i want to make $2 optional, but it should default to value 1 if $2 was omitted.
i tried in this way:
[loadbang] | [trigger bang bang] | | [$2 ] [1 ] | / | / [float ]
but if i omit $2, the float's value is 0 and not 1. how to test if a creation parameter was specified? pd doesn't provide a kinda of null-value?
