Hi Frank and the list,
I was searching for some help with nqpoly4 and found this from last July...

Attached is a reworked version of nqpoly4, which should be compatible but I only tested it with your many-osc.pd so far.
I still can't understand how to create abstractions for nqpoly and get it to call them, but at least your version looks a bit cleaner ;-)
Can you explain in simple steps how to use this patch?
Also, if I wanted dynamic voice handling (i.e. voices shut off when not in use to save CPU), does nqpoly handle this by itself or would I need to build a [switch~] into the abstraction?
This is the powerful use that really makes abstractions imho. Allocation is really dynamic, so once that voice is gone so is the abstraction instance. But it never hurts to add [switch~] into a block of code to shut it down when [env~][< 1], i'm getting to do it by habit now as patches grow bigger and I struggle for CPU.

I don't suppose you'd like to write it up as a short tut using a *simple* synthesiser for the "6 simple synthesisers" document? One part is to be about voice management and polyphony, so a good, easy to follow explanation of using [nqpoly4] would be very welcome.
