I made a simple synth patch that attempts to approximate the sound of a Chinese sheng. It works but after playing a few notes it seems like the ADSR inside the synth voices stops working properly. That makes me think there's a problem with how I've set up thispoly~ and/or the ADSR. As far as I can tell, though, I've set it up exactly the way I've seen it successfully done in other patches. So what am I missing?

I'll add the patch as a comment...

We can't see the content of the poly~ patcher, so we can't really help.

But when it comes to using [adsr~] in a poly~, check if you are doing it like in the adsr~ Help file, tab 'poly'.

Here's a screenshot of what's inside the synth voices inside poly~. As far as I can tell, I'm doing it like it's done in the help files.
