poly~ and buffer arguments

i.te's icon

I'm having some problems with the buffer arguments and my polysubpatch.

the buffer is outside the polysubpatch with #1buffername arguments, and I want to read data from a play object inside the poly~ subpatch with the same arguments,
but play~ can´t see the buffer.

Any help will be much appreciated!

hi,

you can send a message to play~ whit "prepend set (name of the buffer)" to inside poly~.
Or you could include your buffer inside poly~ patch.

be sure and include 'args' before your arguments, for instance a 4 voice poly~ could look like this-

[poly~ patchName 4 args #1buffername]

....and then inside the poly~, you would have [play~ #1].
