I'm trying to build a patch that automatically creates just as many different buffers as I want (between 30 and 100). I need a dynamic and quick way to load and reload buffer's banks and I wanted to optimize the patch in order to just have the ammount of buffers I need and freeing the not used memory. Is there a way to do it without scripting? The only way I suspected it would work was poly~, but so far as I know it is not possible to have a different buffer in every instance of the same poly object. 

Hi list,
  I'm trying to build a patch that automatically creates just as many different buffers as I want (between 30 and 100). I need a dynamic and quick way to load and reload buffer's banks and I wanted to optimize the patch in order to just have the ammount of buffers I need and freeing the not used memory. Is there a way to do it without scripting? The only way I suspected it would work was poly~, but so far as I know it is not possible to have a different buffer in every instance of the same poly object.  
  Any tips?
  Thank you,

you can rename the buffer~ in every instance of the poly~ using 

and then, send messages to each buffer~ with :

but scripting is probably more flexible... why don't you want to use

yes, it's possible :
you can rename the buffer~ in every instance of the poly~ using  
thispoly~ :

and then, send messages to each buffer~ with :
send buffer_1, send buffer_2,...

but scripting is probably more flexible... why don't you want to use  
it ?
