getting poly~ voices
Aug 19 2011 | 11:44 am
hi,
apologies if this has been answered before - i tried searching, but please direct me to another thread if it has.
my question is this: is there a way for a patcher loaded into [poly~] can find out how many voices are loaded? e.g. to find out the "16" in [poly~ somepatch 16], in the same sort of way it can use [thispoly~] to find out it's own voice number? (the reason for wanting to do this is so that i can set the phases of phasors for windowing relative to the number of voices in the subpatch, i.e. that the phase of each would be "voice number from [thispoly~] * (1/total number of voices)")
hope that makes sense.
thanks
stephen,
- Aug 19 2011 | 12:32 pmthe voice instance number is reported by the thispoly~ object out the left outlet when the object receives a bang...check out the manual page (link @ top right of help patcher) for thispoly~ : the mechanism is well explained, imho. g'luck cfb
- Aug 19 2011 | 1:25 pmsorry, i didn't explain properly. i know [thispoly~] can get the voice number for that particular voice, but is there a way get the total number of voices for that poly object, like 16 voices or whatever?thanks
