Perhaps better rephrased: how does one use arrays of .pd objects? or variable length vectors/lists?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 28 September 2011 19:29, Ludwig Maes <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ludwig.maes@gmail.com">ludwig.maes@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

To my experience there will be definitely audio dropouts with dynamic voice<br>
creation. In the case of my rather complex patch (with currently only 8<br>
voices) I have to wait up to ten seconds until the patch is ready again for<br>
playback. I am using a 3.2 GHz Athlon II X2 which is not that slow. Simpler<br>
synth voices might be faster, though.<br>
<br>
I think it is much better to create as many voices as needed beforehand and<br>
turn unused voices off with the [switch~] object.<br>

Betreff: [PD] Variable number of objects?<br>
<div><div></div><div><br>
Im not sure what the best way is to instantiate variable number of objects,<br>
for example consider polysynth.pd:<br>
<br>
Theres a fixed number of manually placed voices, suppose I want to have the<br>
top patch to contain a counter through which one may increase or decrease<br>
the number of voices, how would I go about that (without manually placing a<br>
load of voices and disabling them...)?<br>
<br>
Whats the vanilla way to do this? Whats the pd-extended way to do this? ...<br>
