My simple poly synth becomes monophonic when receiving chords

Masa's icon

My poly synth patch is working as polyphonic when incoming notes events are at different timing, but when they come at exactly at the same timing (by using ‘chord’ message or using Ableton), it sounds monophonic. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Many thanks for your help,
Masa

I'm not sure I understand why, but the second (not connected) thispoly~ object in the poly patch (km.sine_poly.maxpat) seems to cause the problem. After deleting it everything works fine.

Wow, thanks a lot Dimitri. I have wasted hours by not realising the second thispoly~ object...! Thanks a lot!!
