Objects which take signals in their left inlets via class_mainsignalin() also get float methods, automatically, which are promoted to "signal". It would probably help avoid confusion if you used a different inlet for your float method -- even in cases where it makes no sense at all to use "float" inputs as signals.

Hi list, i have a dsp external object which has both a signal in and a float method at the leftmost inlet. When the class is set up, the warning "float method overwritten" is posted. What exactly is the meaning of that? Is there some problem with the above setup?

thanks, Thomas
