pseudostereo

I'm trying to make a fairly simple poly~ but it's not working, and I can't figure it out. (I'll admit I'm pretty inexperienced with MSP) It's based on one of Sam T's video tutorials, and works fine as a single voice, but when I encapsulate it into a poly~ it all goes wrong. The notes turn into blips and it never uses anything but the first instance. I'm using adsr~ to trigger thispoly~ which I suspect is part of the problem since the envelope is much shorter than the actual sound - but I can't figure out how to use anything else to trigger thispoly~

Here's the patch with both the monophonic and poly~ versions:

and here's the poly~ (name it karplusPoly and save in the same folder)

real quick answer here, so apologies for lack of specific detail:

Turning a mono synth into a poly synth in Max requires voice allocation and handling not present in your example. Look at the first two tabs of the [poly~] help files, then read the MSP Tutorial no.21, and have a look here too:

These will DEFINITELY have you playing guitar chords in Max in no time, sorry to be brief but it's very late, and my viva voce is in, like, a week so . . .
