Ok, so I am replying to myself... :)
I just created two sketched that don't need the 'wrap' object, but still use the route like polypoly does. I am not sure which is better, or whether both are useful.
- [rawpoly] allows for dynamic addition while each existing instance will keep it's state. It also creates objects in the subpatch with proper $0 and $1.
- [instances] uses one [route] for all instances

Hey,
Now that I am immersing myself in the various versions of *poly, I am thinking the time is ripe for creating a nice, clean library of various poly objects.
- polypoly, works with [poly]
- instances, for managing addressable instances
- voices, for managing voice instances, basically nqpoly4
The key idea is that they all have a common interface and structure so if you know how to use one, you can use another. The first question I have is related to polypoly. I haven't really used it, so I am wondering how useful it is to be able to set the patch and the number of instances via the inlets.
