CC2 - Week 4 - Synthesis (1) - Additive, Tremolo, RM

This was definately the most fun I've had with Max this semester- the elusive 'church organ' sound took up much of my time (to no avail). I made an additive synthesis patch, which of course uses the 'function' object as an envelope controller. The most difficult part was trying to figure out a way to make a primarily visual-based patch (re: the function object) into a poly~ object. After much deliberation (and subsequent complication) I managed to make a 16-or-so input poly-capable version, which is as much fun to use as it was to create (so, not much). Nonetheless, the gui version seems to work quite wonderfully, and can be seen in action in the .help file.
