I can't seem to find any help with this in the tutorial files. I've set up a tri~ in a poly~ with two voices. I'm using a MIDI notein to trigger the tri~.

So I unpack the data within the poly~ and it plays a seperate note in each instance fine, however the problem is that the correct instance will never receive a noteoff message. Do I have to use 'target' for each noteon and noteoff message and keep a track of which instance is in use manually or is there a way for the poly~ to automatically send the correct noteoff to the correct instance?

Hopefully my explaination wasn't too bad there.

...but your "notein" is outside the poly~, yes?

>Do I have to use 'target' for each noteon and noteoff message and keep a track of which instance is in use manually or is there a way for the poly~ to automatically send the correct noteoff to the correct instance?

right. Use poly (no ~) or Borax to manage this for you.

It seems to me to be impossible to target an instance that is busy although most probably I have done something wrong. I have used the 'poly' object to find the voice number. I then use a 'set target $1' messagebox to create a messagebox with the correct target number in it. My Midi note information is held in another messagebox and I use a 't b b' to bang the target message first and the note information second but I still can't seem to get noteoffs to work.

Busy poly~'s ignore the messages "note" and "midinote". You'll need to send your noteoff as some other message.

I think the target numbers can't be working correctly. There's probably a far simpler way of doing this:

But still, it could be much much simpler, all the polyphony handling is
