Beta Release of voice-alligator: an advanced voice allocation algorithm for poly~

Hello everyone.

I wrote my first external with the help of a friend and decided to publish the beta version. It's called [voice-alligator].

You can find it here:

voice-alligator beta_v1.zip
zip

I think it's a powerful and versatile external for people interested in making polyphonic synths in max.

Here is a screenshot from the help file that gives a short overview of the features of [voice-alligator]:


It took quite a few days of work. Learning c++ was certainly a challenge but the hugest challenge was actually nailing down the design/ understanding what it was I exactly wanted my external to do.

Anyway, I'm quite proud of it and also of the help-file.

It is a beta version because it still has some bugs - I'm looking for help with those and you can find infos about these bugs in the tab "Hanging Notes" in the help-file. I tried to get some help by asking into the Discord Group a few weeks back but got no response, so i thought I'd just do my publishing post with a beta release first and see if this generates a bit more interest.
