I've made a simple patch that hosts a vst~ object. I plan to load 8 instances of this patch into a poly~ object. I'm using the instance number from thispoly~ to set a gate~ output so that each individual voice goes to its own channel. I *think* that part is working (the correct gate outlet is open for each instance), but the real trouble is that only the first instance is receiving midi in messages.

I've borrowed the polymidiin and midiparse sequence noted in the Help docs, which allowed this to work in its current limited capacity, but I can't get it to send separate midi note messages to individual voices. What am I missing? Patch is copied below:
