hello. i am new to these boards, and also new to max msp.

i am currently doing a subtractive synth for a university assignment. 

i have conquered and understood everything up to this moment.

my basic problem is the poly~. i tried sub patching, and it works, but i cant seem to edit the new poly object in the main patcher (ie, pitch control, fine tune, ADSR, cutoff).

i basically need some advice as to what i should do next to make the poly objects work with an adsr, and allow them to be edited and controlled in the main patcher.

thanks for your time and i hope you can help.

For adsr~ in a poly~, you could study Chris Muir's stupid synth (download there : 

Otherwise, feel free to send your patch in its current form.

[in 1] [in 2], etc?

i tried the ways of making a subpatch basic waveform, and importing in in 4 instances but there was a problem with notes seemingly clashing and creating composite frequencies.

and tried the way of using the poly~ object and making a sub patch with a thispoly~ patch.

i will check out that synth for reference, anyone got any subtractive synths i could look at for reference to help me out.

thanks for any help or advice.


This doesn't make sense. [thispoly~] is a Max object.

Is the poly~ tutorial (MSP tutorial 21) crystal clear?

2. make a simple synth using your basic subtractive synth for your poly~ voices. for instance, imitating the simple_poly in MSP tutorial 21.

3. maybe improve it using mute message, like poly_using_mute in the same tutorial.

4. check out stupidsynth that I mentioned earlier (it's a little hard to begin the study of poly~ with it, without studying the tutorials first).

5. you shouldn't need target messages and such for such a project.

I would suggest:
1. make a simple subtractive synthesizer

Good luck,
