[PD] my first extension, FINISHED

[Phil Stone]

Hi,

If you can wait about one more day...I'll be posting a link to a 
ready-to-use polyphonic synthesizer, which uses Frank's [polypoly] 
object, which in turn uses [poly].    For a sneak peak, see here (the 
download link doesn't work yet, as I wrap up last-minute issues with the 
code):

I'll try to have the download in place by tomorrow.  But I wanted you to 
know that polyphony is now very easy and powerful in PD.
