I understood that the name stands for 'not quite poly', but I wanted to know if somebody has tried to overcome this nqpoly4 limitation: as far as I've understood it, the abstraction created via nqpoly receive it's voice number as the first creation argument, but it's not possible to send a message from the calling patch to a specific voice.
This is essential if I want to make a true midi controlled polyphonic synth. In fact I need the abstraction to receive noteoffs and start the release part of the envelope.
Now, as I'm writing, I've thought about a solution. To put the [noteout] object inside the abstraction. In this way you can [select] the voice and act only if it is the same of the abstraction instance. I haven't tested it but it should work.
So my question to the list has changed: what about adding an example of this technique to the npqoly distribution?
Frank?
