(This time, attachment is *really* attached - sorry!)
I have been using Frank B.'s wonderful abstraction [polypoly] (which is a revision and improvement of [nqpoly]) and getting great results with it. In fact, I'll publish a synth based on it very soon now -- just as soon as I work out this final issue. I added an extra inlet to [polypoly] in order to be able to send a "clear" message to the [poly] object within it, which manages all the dynamically-created voices. I did this because imperfect input can sometimes drop a note-off and leave a note hanging, and it never gets de-allocated or released by [poly] -- that's what the "clear" message accomplishes. This actually worked great, with one small problem -- the $0-poly subpatch, which is where the magic of [polypoly] mostly seems to occur, doesn't respond well to editing of its parent. There's dynamic instantiation using $0- variables going on here, and I think that's what is getting messed up by editing -- these extra lines appear in the edited version: #X obj 50 60 r 1002-in1; #X obj 199 60 r 1002-in2; #X obj 50 200 throw~ 1002-out0; #X obj 199 200 throw~ 1002-out1; and the subpatch invocation is this: #N canvas 7 455 362 318 1002-poly 0; (edited) instead of: #N canvas 7 455 362 318 \$0-poly 0; (original) These cause startup errors, although after that, everything seems to work fine. I'm not sure how to correctly edit self-modifying patches such as this. What's the trick? Should I just edit the text directly? I've attached the modified version of [polypoly]. By the way, Frank, will [polypoly] be made available from CVS? I think it's the best thing since sliced bread. Phil Stone UC Davis
