that's correct. The first inlet of [select] expects a *single*
float (or symbol). The help patch says: "compare floast and
symbol".</p>

<p>The behavior has been like this for ages and won't change. If you
don't like it, use another object. You're probably looking for
[relay] from zexy. You can easily make a vanilla version with
[list split], [route] and [list prepend].</p>

<div>Pretty sure this is unwanted behaviour, due probably to pd
objects' default behaviour of using a second float to set the
cold inlet. In this case it is definitely unwanted, and can
be the source of some very hard to track down bugs.<br>
