Polyphony Using Multiple Patchers

Polyphony using Multiple Patchers

Both the poly~ and mc.poly~ objects can now use separate patches for each of the encapsulated voices. The names of the voice patches are added to the object using the @patchernames attribute.

One use of mc.poly~ would be to load a bank of patchers to use as audio effects operating in parallel on each channel of a multichannel signal. If you want to mix the output of all the effects, you can do that later with mc.mixdown~ or mc.op~.
