Thanks for your reply.

I was expecting [vu] simply to show some levels. 

How would I slot [vu] into a very basis chain like the following which would allow me to keep an eye on levels, or am I missing the point of [vu]? (Perhaps these's a better way to do it.)

[number box]
|
[osc~]
|
[*~  0] ----- [number box]  

|
[dac~]

Thanks,
Peter

Are you expecting [vu] to output sound? Use the [dac~] object for that. I guess you mean that the [vu] doesn't register any levels...

[env~] sends a message stream of numbers, not audio. And I assume you mean [- 100] here? It won't work without the space. [- ] is the name of the object and "100" is the creation argument. Could that be the problem?

best,

Hi,
Can someone please help me out here? I've searched the forum and list archives and understand that the following is the construction for including a simple vu meter in a patch:
[env~]
|
[-100]
|
[vu]
So I used it like this:
[number box]
|
[osc~]
|
[env~]
|
[-100]
|
[vu]
but this produces no sound. (The connectors from [env~] and [-100] are message connectors, not audio.)
Thanks,
