polyphony in pd is a nightmare, you get it for free in sc:
// 128 sine waves with random freq mixed down to stereo:
{ Splay.ar(SinOsc.ar({ExpRand(100, 5e3)} ! 128)) }.play
Have you tried nqpoly4, polypoly, or the 'many' lib? It is quite
easy to
do polyphony with any of them.
yeah I know those libs/abstractions, and it can get very tricky too
see what's happening within patches using nqpoly4 & co, not very
noob friendly.
while I admit those are very clever, it's far more complicated than
sc multi-channel expansion ( -> just give any method argument an
array and you get the corresponding number of audio|control
channels, nice and easy, without dynamic-patching-voodoo =).
no flaming here, I'm just trying to point out the different approach
(IMHO anyway).
Its true, that is the downside of everything having a physical
representation, i.e. each instance has its object box. But I think
that its possible to make it really easy in Pd. That's the goal of
the 'many' lib. I'd love feedback on what you thought was hard with
the 'many' lib.
