most patches won’t allow you to create input or output ports because the ‘function’ of the patch is predetermined and immutable.
that’s not to say all ports must be wired to other patches but at least one output patch will always have to be connected to a chain of patches that ends at an input port to a patch in the category of patches called Renderer. (blue coloured patches) there are some excepts to this though. like the math expression patch it will make inputs for whatever variable you name in the function. You got to the “Settings” inspector to change the formula. also the Math patch. You can add or subtract inputs in the Settings inspector. It starts with 2 inputs. > On 21 Oct 2015, at 5:19 pm, Alastair Leith <usefuldesign...@gmail.com > <mailto:usefuldesign...@gmail.com>> wrote: > > i dont understand the question.
