The [poly~] object in Max is a very powerful tool that, sooner or later nobody should ignore. Be it for the creation of polyphonic instruments, dealing with multi-threading your patch, re-sampling your audio, or taking greater control over what processes should use valuable CPU time, [poly~] is invaluable.
Today I give you a very simple abstraction that simplifies voice targeting. Different voices may need different messages to function appropriately, however re-patching a system to quickly and easily access different voices was cumbersome so I came up with a solution.
Set a single voice, any number of voices, or a range of voices you would like to target. Connect it to your [poly~] and send your messages, done…
Happy Patching!!
