inlet​

inlet() -> llll/null
danger

inlet only works as intended in Max and should not be used in bellplay~ to avoid unexpected behavior.

Returns the number of the inlet that triggered the computation. This is always 1, unless you set the @triggers attribute to a different value. If the computation has been triggered by a trigger variable, rather than an inlet, the function returns 0.

Arguments​

Output​

Number of the inlet that triggered the computation. [llll/null]

warning

inlet is a built-in function in the bell programming language and is not unique or exclusive to bellplay~. As such, inlet will return null without raising an error if required arguments are not provided.
