This is the powerful use that really makes abstractions imho. Allocation
is really dynamic, so once that voice is gone so is the abstraction
instance. But it never hurts to add [switch~] into a block of code
to shut it down when [env~][< 1], i'm getting to do it by habit now
as patches grow bigger and I struggle for CPU.

I don't suppose you'd like to write it up as a short tut using 
a *simple* synthesiser for the "6 simple synthesisers" document?
One part is to be about voice management and polyphony, so
a good, easy to follow explanation of using [nqpoly4] would be
very welcome.
