Hello all, sorry for maybe noob question, but can I just build a polyphonic synth with rnbo without the MIDI feature? 

All the time when I search for polyphony in video tutorials the MIDI comes in.

What exactly do you mean with "without the MIDI feature"? do you want to control the voices manually without sending MIDI messages?

I that case you top level [rnbo~] object should be monophonic and inside you can place a polyphonic sub patcher with the @voicecontrol attribute set tu user: user

[p @title my-patcher @polyphony 6 @voicecontrol ]

using the [set target] and set [set mute] objects you can access/control the individual voices.

Hello ADMANT,

Is that what you are aiming for?


The key is the simple vs user voice controller. 

. Looking on how to manage the busy/free state of subpatches (I am used to poly~ object but totally new to rnbo).

YES! Exactly.

Thank you sooo so much! 
Now I will take the complete tour here. Looking on how to manage the busy/free state of subpatches (I am used to poly~ object but totally new to rnbo).
Thanks again.

Still, I cannot get to the point. Is there a way to simulate the poly~ object behavior and the "note $1" message? 

In other words, my goal is to have the automatic voice allocation (send my values to the first voice that is not busy) without voice stealing (nothing happens if no free voices are available) and without using the midi objects. 

Do I have to do all the patching to manage the mute/target stuff by querying the busy/free map? That sounds complicated...

Attached is a simple example of what I am in.

No other way? 

Ok, ok, it was not soo so hard, it took me only a few days to find the way in the world of codebox. I created an array with the busy/free voice status and the indexOf() function to set the target before sending out the values to the polyphonic subpatch. About the topic, simply I had to substitute the midiparse object with the listin.

polyphony only with MIDI?
