Relatively new max user here. I'm trying tying to create a granular patch based on Curtis Roads' Microsound. I am having a particularly hard time figuring out how to target poly~ voices at the audio rate. It looks like many patches use the thispoly~ object to offset the phasors between voices, but I don't think this approach will work for me since it ties the grain emission rate to the number of voices and I would like to be able to control the grain emission rate independently. It seems like something in gen~ might be the best solution. Can anyone offer any guidance? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm in a little over my head!

you can use different inlets, funnel, or mc. ... how many voices?

What I can contribute is a few javascript methods from my multitimbral javascript synth. Sadly js buffer peek and poke methods do not compile to standalone, so I dropped it. But it could provide a starting point. This is an LRU voice allocator for multiple voices on different channels with age-based voice indexing for best performance. This is part of 3,000 lines of JS code and I haven't got a simpler version at hand, apologies.

function storenote(pon, velon, chan){    //add note to buffer

function deletenote(ageoff, chan){    //remove note from buffer

    for(var i = ageoff; i < numv; i++){

            apitch[chan][d] = apitch[chan][b];

            aveloc[chan][d] = aveloc[chan][b];

            storenote(p, vel, chan); 

            for(var a = numv; a >0; a--){

                v = age.indexOf(a);

                if(p == pitch[v] && chan == channel[v]){

                    pitch[v] = 0;

                    channel[v] = 0;

                    deletenote(a, chan); 

                    numv--; 

                    return;

Thanks for your replies, I managed to figure out the issue!

As always when granular synthesis is involved, I'm a bit curious... What solution did you find out ?
