polyphonic synth. understanding poly~ (mc.poly)

Jordi Puig's icon

Hi All,

I was trying to write a kick synth with poly~ in a way that each kick is added to the previous, kicks must not stop in the middle of the run when a second kick is triggered. Therefore, even if you trigger a burst of kicks the sound of each kick must be the same. all kicks must just overlap.

Unfortunately this is not what I get in my patch. kicks sound all different and amplitudes vastly differ for each kick triggered.
