Function with sustain in poly~
Apr 12 2021 | 6:37 am
Hello lovely Max folks,
I'm sure some of you have seen this before but after looking at what I assume is anything related to this topic i've still not found a single working version of how to implement sustain using function (not interested in adsr~) inside of poly~.
I've seen many suggestions about using adsr~ but the idea that function has well (more functionality) is what i'm after. I understand how to use sustain in a mono setting with things like note on/off in tandem with the "next" message but how to get that into a poly~ is beyond me.
Quick rundown: looking to create a simple FM synth with Fm env and Amp env that function in a standard adsr+ way (play midi note and it makes lovely sharp sounds), but also will be aiming to have a hold/sustain/latch setting that loops wherever function has set those points.
Would love some assistance on this one!

I wonder if you might like just simply having control of which poly~ voice plays. [poly] without the ~ can also handle voice management separately. Perhaps with that, you can create sustains by filtering out voice off messages depending on voice number.But I'm not sure this fixes it. Did I miss something?

I haven't put this thing through any extensive tests but after playing with it for a while it seems to be stable.FM Voice with Function as Envelope including SustainSimple FM SynthHappy patching!
