Forgive me for butting in, I haven’t read the whole thread in depth, but I’ve been using the rjlib u_makepoly object for this purpose for a while. Maybe it’s worth checking out how Frank, et al. solved this problem via dynamic patching?

I believe that in any mode, as is, sending the message |1 2 3( to the nth input of [clone blah 16] object will route the message |2 3( to instance 1's nth input. At this point I think all audio sent via [inlet~] or [outlet~] is summed.

As is, I think its a pretty nice approach and something I've been wanting in PD for a long time.
