So I've made my first attempt at creating a very simple synth in poly~ and I'm getting a crackling as a note is held or played. I don't really know where to start and exhausted myself getting this far :P An explanation of the fix would be most helpful or just pointers in the direction of a fix. I'm struggling a bit with MSP/synth stuff so some of it was lifted from examples or help files which ideally later I'd like to avoid.

Your envelope params are only going to the first voice. poly~ should either have the @target 0 attribute, or get sent a target 0 message to.

Your frequency goes below the audio range, which could be perceived as crackling.

thanks very much i will look into both of those tomorrow. hopefully its one or both of those
