Making a polyphonic vocoder
Hi all,
I've built a vocoder as per www.youtube.com/watch?v=4feOFLX6238. I was wondering if I could use one kslider in polyphony mode to control multiple oscillators to play chords instead of having one kslider per oscillator. I have tried to think of a way to use the midi data but I'm stumped because kslider only outputs single numbers at a time.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
hello, you should use the poly~ object to create multiple instances of your instrument (vocoder). The number of polyphonic voices is determined by the number of instances. This way you can assign different notes to each of the instances and check each item with a single controller (keyboard for example). You should look on the forum a few polyphonic patches, even on polyphonic synthesizers or similar :)

Hi Antonio,
It would appear that the poly~ object is what I need, when I put all the workings of my vocoder inside the subpatcher there is suddenly no output even though I am using an out~ object.
I have read something about a selector object causing the poly~ to not work, maybe this is the problem?
Cheers
inside poly~ you have to use "out ~ 1" or "in~ 1", or if it isnt signal, you can use "out 1" or "in 1" .
you must also save the poly~ patch in the same folder where you put your new patch that will contain poly~ with your vocoder...
sorry for english! :D
Cheers
I've followed those instructions and everything should be working but it still gives single notes and not chords. ill attach the patch and subpatchers to see if you can see what the problem is
Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm looking to do the same thing.
