If you look at page...
http://www.sharktracks.co.uk/lcc/dmd1/PDintro.html you may see an ADSR down the page.
I have downloaded the file and printed the picture showing the calling convention. However, when I attach number boxes to the inlets, then change, in the levels of the sliders are not reflected in the number boxes.
I have a calling of adsr as the picture shows, but no parameters apparently on the abstraction side of the adsr patch.
Both the adsr.pd and also the patch which calls is are copied onto a *.doc file, which if it uploads it, will show the connection. Perhaps you could advise as to what exactly is wrong with it.
