How do I make a poly from a float?

I want to experiment with alternative tunings, so I need to be able to make notes with exact pitch.
I can get a float from a poly, but not backwards.
ps I am new to ask questions online, don't hesitate to tell me if I am wrong

I’m not sure this will help, but if you connect a float to a poly stream input, the value of the float will offset any data in the stream and affect all poly channels (notes) equally.
So, you don’t need to somehow convert a float value to poly first!

As Spogg explained, you can connect (green) floats directly to poly, and they will affect all voices in the same way. Sometimes, however, you want to use data derived from a (blue) stream in the poly section, for instance if you want to modulate a synth with your voice. In that case you may use a module from the early Synthmaker era (refer to the attachment).
