I would like to make a polyphonic sampler. In other words activate a sound file several times while the first activation of the sound file is still playing. I have looked at this video tutorial (

https://cycling74.com/tutorials/polyphonic-synthesizer-video-tutorial/),

 but I cannot figure out how to modify it, so that I can activate a sound file instead … Also the sound file needs to be activated in a different way than with midi notes and volume.

Thanks, Mark Durham, that was exactly the tutorial I needed. But what if I want to make a poly click instrument? Don't I need the "this poly" inside the poly object file in order to avoid that the voices overlap? The click object does not allow me to find out how long a click lasts, so how do I make the poly instrument show that this voice is busy?

 you can use the output from your click to control voice state. Though you may need to use abs~ before thispoly~ to get the right value, not 100% on that though. You could not bother with that and just have all the voices active, using the (target $1) message to cycle through them - as in the tutorial. One thing that will probably work better is to have the preset and multislider outside of the poly~ and then just send the list from multislider through your [in 1]. Poly~ is more efficient that way, and you might get into trouble with a preset in each voice.
