A UGenInput will have an InputType of either AUDIO or CONTROL. An AUDIO input will always have the same number of channels as the owning UGen, in other words the length of the array returned by getLastValues will have a length equal to channel count. A CONTROL input will always have one channel and its value can be conveniently queried by calling getLastValue().

Constructors

Create a UGenInput with a particular type.
UGenInput(UGen.InputType type)
Create a UGenInput of the specified type with an initial value.
UGenInput(UGen.InputType type, float value)

/**
  * This sketch demonstrates how to create a simple synthesis chain that 
  * involves controlling the value of a UGenInput with the output of 
  * a UGen. In this case, we patch an Oscil generating a sine wave into 
  * the amplitude input of an Oscil generating a square wave. The result 
  * is known as amplitude modulation.
