I’m hoping someone can help me troubleshoot this one.

I have a simple patch that contains a poly~ abstraction. The poly component works fine. My problem is in the adsr~ object. I seem to get inconsistent results with it, and never a proper envelope with attack, decay, sustain and release. Sometimes I’ll get the attack, but no release, or various combinations like that. Any help would be grand!!

Thanks,
Mike

Here’s an untested simplified version of your top level patch:

I followed the same method used in the MSP tutorial on . is used with the target attribute of to route messages to a specific voice of . Maybe what I’m doing is unnecessary. I’ll try to do another method of polyphony without it, since it seems odd to have that to you. Maybe the on/off velocities from the MIDI is being allocated to different voices or something, thus creating problems in the envelope. Thanks for the input and looking at my patch. Always appreciated.

I appreciate another example too. Thanks for posting that.

Got it. Here’s the working patch – might be helpful for someone else. Obviously you’ll have to connect some of the broken patch cords after you paste it.

Thanks to Chris for noticing the oddity of using the poly object.
