Hi there,

Try to initialize the poly~ with a @target 0 argument, so that the midinote message gets sent to all instances (it will take care of the targeting itself based on busy-state).

Also take out the *~ from inbetween the gain-slider and the output. It's multiplying the signal by zero so you'll never hear it.

Hope that helps...

for future reference, both the top level patch and any included patch (in this case the poly~ patch) need to be included.

Here's the top level patch, which works for me.

Hey,

Yeah, that should cut it.

( What I specifically meant - which is practically no different then what you did - was just to type in @target 0 into the poly~ object box after @steal 1. I.e. initializing the object box with the attribute target 0. )

If it still doesn't work, just double check that you have the right midi input selected for notein (i.e. that you are in fact receiving notes) etc and if still in trouble do copy/paste once again both patchers so we'll have a look.

Regards,

man, thats amazing. thank you. can i use a line~ object within the poly~ to stop the clicking? this is the only issue now... :-P

sure thing. or adsr~ could also be a good option considering held notes from the midi input.
good luck!

You already have an adsr~ in the poly~ patch you're just not giving it any values, so it's clicking.
Here's the Polyvoicemulti patch:
