Also i don't think that's a spot where you should worry too much about 
optimization, unless you initialize each object with thousands of creation 
arguments :-)

Betreff: Re: [PD] Pass External Argument as Output on Creation
I guess objects always have to be first created to be connected, so sending 
something to an outlet in the new-method might actually never work...

Yes, your suggestion is safer but I’m I’m curious to know if it works. The 
scenario is unique and specific to my own patch where the object will 
definitely have a number atom connected to its outlet.

Yes, I guess what I’m asking is what would be the most efficient way to do 
this. I can’t seem to get the arg to output to the float on creation. It may 
not even be possible...
