But A_DEFSYM and A_DEFFLOAT are implemented in a way that allows an arbitrary number of extra float/symbol arguments, so it could be `[inlet this inlet controls frequency]`. Or following the `[get]` and `[set]` pattern-- `[inlet - this inlet controls frequency]` to skip over the first arg that is currently used for up/downsampling.<br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Someone asked on the Purr Data list about this. It would be easy to implement, but it doesn't cover the case of setting a description for the object itself. Plus I'd much rather just leverage the documentation index in the GUI to look up tooltip data.<br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">-Jonathan<br></div></div></div>
