[PD] How to implement amount control to amplitude modulation?

[Ingo]

Easiest way is to set your multiplicator (here [+~ 0.5] before the [+~ 1]
instead of after.
Then change the value between 0 and 1.

Make sure to initialize your final multiplicator to start with multiplying
with 1 or you wont hear anything before the amplitude modulation starts.

Another way would be to blend between the dry and the wet signal.
