I'm sure this has been gone over, but I can't find the answer online 

so: how can you specify unique buffer names to use inside patchers 

you want to easily copy and paste to duplicate or use within poly~ 

subpatches? Like a poster I found online, I tried the pluggo "--- 

name" syntax without luck. I'm guessing there is some loadbang 

trickery that would do, and perhaps there is something native or

The way I do it is to just make one big ass buffer~ outside the poly~ and use thispoly~ to create a recording start offset which is unique to each voice.

Clever solution, Andrew, but I think I'm going to go with Roald's 

sprintf, it's kind of slick and will require less puzzling when

It sounds like you have a really similar issue to one that I had not very

long ago. I was basically trying to find out how to duplicate subpatches

that had buffers. Someone on this list told me to look into #0 naming,

which helped a lot. Try page 418 of the Max Tutorials and Topics manual

under the heading : # in object and message boxes. That's where I found my

answer and it's even more native and slick than sprintf, since that requires

an extra object.

what i do is creating a random name at loadbang and then (with set) 

name the buffer and the objects accessing it (peek~, index~ etc)
