CC2 - Week 3 - Polyphony and Instancing

This week's exploration of instancing seems to be a very important topic when it comes to audio rate data; the relief that the poly~ object would allow the CPU would be very beneficial to the smooth use of the program. A bit of a brain teaser this week was ensuring that the output from the poly object did not 'red-line'. Clip on output, in other words. This was solved by dividing the number of instances by 1, then multiplying the output by that number, eg. 8 instances= amplitude is decreased by 0.125. This ensured the optimal volume for any number of voices. I won't beat you over the head with pictures, as most of the patches look almost identical to these.
