multiple-samples-and-poly-and-buffer-confusion

why are you changing the buffer~ name? each poly instance should have a unique buffer~/groove~ combo with a unique name, and there should be no need to change that.

i would use thispoly~ or #0 to construct a name in each instance.

make sure you set the buffer~ name BEFORE you set the groove~ name, so you don't get that error.

This is sort of what I am doing - because each poly instance receives the name change, and the name change is identical for both buffer~ and groove~.

If I just call the buffer and groove of the subbpatch "sample" the buffer will be overwritten each time the poly instance.

But ... I think I am misunderstanding something.

How can I use thispoly~ for this? Isn't that just for muting/unmuting?

ok, in your patch looks like you need to make use of trigger to make sure you send target $1 in before you set bufname.

also you need to set the buffer~ before the groove~ as i mentioned.

also, you don't send a target message when you replace the sample, but maybe i'm missing something in your patch.

i'm saying, there's no need to set the buffer name, just do it once at initialization:

Here's an idea with sfplay,- this example should be very easy to poly ;)

Thanks so much, folks - I've got a lot to learn, but this should(!?) be enough to get me started.
