The spigot function will fire even when it sends a zero... I have the noteout routed to ableton on a virtual instrument. I intend for it to only fire when the number atom is greater than 100 but it fires no matter what the number is. What am I doing wrong here?

Hi impaJah,

The spigot function will fire even when it sends a zero...

That is true, it will output everything it receives unless you close it by sending zero on its right inlet.

try this:

[ \
|
[> 100]
|
[t f f]
| \
[spigot]
|
[print]

I found the problem. I wasn't routing the product from the > operator to both the left and right inlets of the spigot function.

Thanks for the input sine.

Since you're not using the value for anything after you check to see if it's over 100, you don't need to use [spigot] at all. I'd use [select], like this.
