How do you set up a basic poly~ with a play object? I've been working at it for a while and can't seem to get it to work. Please see my patch below.

Hi
not in front of Max atm; could you give me a little more detail - what are you hoping to achieve and what issues are you having?

Hello Ryan,

Check out the 'target $1' and 'note $1' messages to poly~

from the setup inside of the poly voice, it looks like you want a wave~ object, instead of play~

Thank you so much! This works perfectly! Another question:

I want to create multiple poly~ objects, with each one having play~ use a different buffer. Is there a way to do this without having to change every single poly~ inner-patch to play~ "x", "y", "z", etc. ?

This is my current configuration:

you have two options:

- name the play/wave/groove objects from outside the poly

- use buffer names such as track1, track2, track3 and build these names inside the poly using the instance number provided by thispoly.
