help poly synth
hi I need to create a polyphonic synth.
I have taken all the lessons and courses but I can't.
What am I doing wrong?
what is not working ?
even just by looking at simple example in poly~ help file,
one should be able to make few voices work...
what are this lessons and courses you mention ?
Good morning thanks for the reply, unfortunately it doesn't generate notes and no audio arrives in Ableton. I've studied from a few books and max's online lessons, but I'm very new to it. what's wrong with the patch I wrote?
better learning process is to open max and read poly~ help file and reference.
you need to understand how poly~ works, simple as that.
most basic question is how to separate messages to ALL
poly instances from voice messages.
You use no note or target messages, one can't see from the screenshot
what is poly set to in terms of voice stealing etc etc.
also that "r cycle" is probably meant to adjust level of ALL
voices, but one can't see if you sent that value at all,
and if not there will be no sound ....
you should rather use 1 volume control at poly~ output instead and remove it from voice subpatch.
P.S. you use no velocity at all ?
means all notes would be same loudness.
good morning, thanks for your help
I tried to reconstruct the help example and still no sound comes out, but messages arrive inside the poly.
I just replaced the zi.reg object with a function because I don't know zi.reg
ae you using this in live or in max ?
if max why plugout~ ?
replace it with dac~ 1 2
if this is used in live, then it will not sound when in edit mode,
unless you activate preview
zl reg is simply holding a list.
same as a message would.
if you use function, what domain (length) is it ?
