Objet: [PD] Any alternative to [poly] allowing dynamic number of voices?

I’ve been using [poly] for a long time as the voice-allocation heart of a polyphonic synthesizer, and it does that job well. One drawback it has is that the number of voices can only be set at creation time. I’d love to be able to change that dynamically, e.g., with a number box, or otherwise. (I know this will be glitchy, and don’t care – I won’t be doing it during audio output).

Are there any alternative [poly]-like objects that *do* allow dynamically changing the number of voices?

I noticed in Miller’s ‘to-do’ comments in the source that he’d like to add an input to [poly] for changing the voice-stealing switch; I’d vote enthusiastically for a ‘number of voices’ input as well.
