if you are familiar with MAX:

[clone] is nearly the same as [poly~]

one feature badly missing is the possibility ta allocate dynamic "voice"
(or "instance") numbers (i.e. how many instances of an abstraction are
created). i hope miller has plans to implement this in the future. 

right now, all you can do is a combination of using [clone] and dynamic
patching if you want to change the number of instances on the fly
(destroy the old clone object and re-create it with new arguments with
PD messages).
