voice-alligator

The voice-alligator package is a suite of tools designed to work with mc.poly~ and other MC objects and allows for advanced voice allocation for more complex polyphonic instrument designs and audio-domain triggering of synths.

voice-alligator takes MIDI or extended-format messages and allocates them to voices of a mc.poly~ patcher.It uses different "streams" of note data, allowing for:

1. simultaneous monophony and polyphony
2. the support of different keyboard regions
3. "hold notes" with messages for ending held notes
4. priorities for note stealing
5. directed parameter changes routed into specific streams
6. support for alternative tunings

voice-alligator~ shares the same message protocol but outputs MC signals to drive synthesis and envelopes directly.3-va-audio~.png

voice-alligator-audio~ is a signal-to-signal voice allocator for signal-domain polyphony.

The package also includes [voice-alligator-looper], a note looper for recording and playing back of the note streams generated by [voice-alligator].
