Unique buffer~ names inside poly~s, etc.
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
slicker?
thanks.

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.

I am not sure to understand exactly what you want but you can select a
different buffer in each voice of a poly quite easily using the number
of the voice (given by thispoly~) and sprintf to build the name of the
buffer to choose.

Thanks Andrew and Roald,
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
trying to work with poke's and the like.

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)
