I never made a polyphonic synth in maxMsp, Ive only used workarounds

I now have a project that needs a polyphonic synth - 

I looked at the darwin grosse tutorial, and it looked difficult!

Anyone have some examples where it looks easy?

Tear the help files apart and go to Chris Muirs link above. He has some handy examples of lots of patches loads of things to look at that will help with max in general .

You might want to download 5.2 before building with poly~. It was causing crashes in 5.0.

I tried the DDG tutorial but was always put out because one of the externals needed to complete the tutorial is MAC only. All the rest are PC & MAC but ddg.velamp is .sit only.

It put me off trying to use poly before and I need it now as I find not knowing how to use poly~ is starting to hamper my progression.

I tried the tutorials in msp but they didn't seem to gel with me.

I will try the stupidsynth and hopefully that will get me over the hump.

But [poly~] is one of the greatest strengths of Max. You may also learn [poly] (without tilde), one learns quite a lot by doing the related tutorials.

difficult?
Yes.
