Fractions in SynthDef Argument

I did try the parenthesis. Fails both in pipe syntax and in whatever my typical

arg ...
var...

would be called. I’ve seen a few folks posting using the named control. I did look over the documentation for Control which touches on the link you posted. I tried that with the fraction and it does work.

However, perhaps I misunderstood this, it did say “Generally you do not create controls yourself,” which I somehow interpreted as “named control isn’t something you normally would want to do or is deprecated.”

I assume now it’s saying something more along the lines of “Generally you do not use Control.kr/Control.ar directly” and I’ve just misunderstood this.

So now if I’m correct, 7.333333 is now an instance of control and not a float here and a fraction cannot be a control?
