I know that the "poly" object exists, but I'm not sure it will work in my situation. Basically I'm building a Pluggo that will send note-ons to my sequencer. I've got this working with "makenote-pack-midiformat-plugmidiout". The problem is that this setup is only monophonic, I can only trigger one note at once. Would "poly" be my answer (I can't really figure it out), or is there another? I can't use "noteout" and the like because it doesn't have outlets and therefore can't be used in Pluggo right?

BTW, I've found the duration setting in "makenote" to be unreliable in terms of timing, anyone else? Any work arounds?

if you connect 2 makenote-pack to the midiformat-plugmidiout

should have polyphony. is that what you want?

right, i see your point, and that could work in my situation but it would be a bit cumbersome. basically i'm going to be holding down a note on an Akai drum pad controller, sending that midi note-on to the Pluggo, then as long as i have that note held down the pluggo will send repeated triggers for that note out to the sequencer and to the softsynth, until i let go. with one makenote it only works with one pad at a time. i suppose i could wire up 8 makenotes each one specific for the different pads and go that route. do you think that's the smartest solution?

here's the patch. it might be easier this way.

let me know if it's not clear.

nice idea to translate AT to Vel here, makes sense.

the akai has 16 pads but you only have 10 fingers, right?

so it could be limited to 8 or 10 voices.

depending on how notes and their velocity are created

(in your case all notes of one arp are having the same Vel)

it might make sense to biuld a custom [makenote] which

i would maybe use messageboxes of "$1 $2" and "$1 0"

to send chords to midiformat in the "60 64, 60 68, 60 71,

but watch out that you do not end up with a _more complex

message system t han the current one resulting in even more

oh and of corse you should (theoretically) either _sort 

note-ons from low to high when packing "chords", or make

from top to bottom it sounds funny with a 10 note chord

you're right. i think the message style to the midiformat is the way to go.

i'll have more control and i can get away from the inconsistencies in the makenote duration parameter (which i'll be able to pinpoint once and for all!)

hey Roman,
you're right. i think the message style to the midiformat is the way to go.
