I am in there process of making a chord memory function for my synthesizer.

i cannot seem to get poly to play my end list of midi note numbers.

included is a demo patch showing how i am trying to send them

poly will only play the first midi number in the list, all others are ignored

how can i prepare the note list to poly so the it recognizes them as a chord?

what you do is quite strange. you send a list of four elements to left inlet of pack, which can only accept two of those elements ; he will get rid of the others. And your poly~ won't do anything without a patch in it, but that you must surely know. give a look at the helpfile, it's explained how to take advantage of the built-in features of poly~ for voices allocation. But your problem here might be more basic than that, just a bad understanding of what [pack] does.

i guess i didn't understand that pack wouldn't just add the velocity numbers to each argument in the list. obviously i know that poly requires a voice abstraction, but i didn't want to have to post an abstraction because my question had nothing to do with that. i got the chord to play in poly by unpacking my chord list and then re-packing it into velocity pairs. thanks for helping, all you had to do was tell me to unpack it though.

Ok ! well, sorry if i sounded uncool, but [pack] is a pretty basic object, and [poly~] a more advanced one, hence i wasn't sure what it was that you didn't understand. Anyway you can do like this too :

send midi note chords to poly~
