I Built a system of polyphonic objects within polyphonic objects, but it has become a real hazzle trying to make it work. Would any of you by chance know what im messing up?

you probably just need to study up more on poly~... it requires being a bit more specific: get to know how to use 'thispoly~' along with 'poly~', see helpfiles, ref docs, and also this:

https://cycling74.com/docs/max6/dynamic/c74_docs.html#mspchapter21

you've also done something weird: you put the ezdac~ within your parent poly~...

here's an attached version that at least starts to make sound... but your design makes it hard to tell what kind of end-result you want(you've chosen 'target' message instead of 'note' or 'midinote' which means you don't want poly~ to dynamically allocate voices on its own, instead you'll be doing that manually... but you haven't hooked up the mute and busy messages to thispoly~ within the 'azul'/'verde' patches... you also haven't attached adsr~ or any enveloping, so you'll still be facing clicks and pops whenever you change amplitudes...)...

...when you post for help on the forums, you should at least finish the obvious work so it makes more sense what you're trying to do from the start(but i don't mean it in a scolding way... just trying to help you get help faster).

It's not nice to see a guy enters a forum, no greeting, and requires others to understand because its crap code, not work.

 I made a poly~ based system that works pretty well, using send~/receive~ to avoid some of the problems with poly~ objects.

Maybe that might work better for you or at least give you some pointers

sorry I offended you somehow by asking for help.

to the other guys: thanks a lot for the help. I have dropped the whole polyphonic idea for my project since it was simply not viable. I hope maybe this thread helps someone else struggling with polyphonic systems.

it's all a process. keep it in the back of your mind, come back to it later if it resurfaces ;)

don't mind wendycarlos, there are folks here, it seems they look forward to the forums for some interesting inspiring advanced ideas, and then when they see something basic/unformed by a beginner, it can be a disappointment... i myself, see the basic/unformed and beginners as the only future we have.

it's the differences between people that keeps any community interesting.

What is wrong with my polyphonic system?
