Poly~ thispoly~ problem

Hi,

When using poly~, i would like to have each voice’s thispoly~ communicate with the patch with the poly~ and show with a 1 or 0 whether it is busy or not. I can use the target message to bang an individual thispoly~ and query it’s state, however i would like to have for instance 10 voices and therefore 10 toggles on the main patch view all hooked up to each individual voices thispoly~ so that i would be able to tell which one is busy and which isn’t. I thought of using the #0 argument on a send, out of thispoly~ but how do i get individual receives for every voice in the main patch?

Any ideas?

Thanks, Patrick M Keenan.

I would have the poly [send] a list consisting of two ints, the first being the poly instance, and the second being the busy state.

You might find it easier to do this using the busymap message to [poly~] and [unpack] (or possibly go straight into a radiogroup of check boxes) – you can look at the reference file for [poly~] to see how it works…

adam murray has a great little abstraction that does what alex is suggesting, too:

Thanks peeps,

Hadn’t noticed the busymap message, that should do the trick.

Cheers, Patrick
