Hello,
I'm new with PD. Currently I'm working on an audiovisual project. For that I use a polyphonic synth I found on the patch-repository called SYNTH-0. I uploaded my modified version (for use in purr or l2ork) here.SYNTH-0.5.zip . With it I'm trying to send values to VVVV, which does all the visual part.

Now from this patch I would like to send out 4 numbers of the 4 voice signals as they go through the filter & adsr-envelope. I've gotten pretty far. The problem is the following: the patch uses the "poly"-object, which routes the midi-input 4 times to a subpatch called voice, which then again contains the envelopes and produces an output.


Within "voice" I attached a number-box and an object to send to my sending subpatch, which transfer data to VVVV via FUDI. The thing is: with that I get numbers for one out of the 4 voice patches, I'd like to receive all 4 of them in a pack however. If I attach a numberbox in a subpatch that is 4 times called the same name but is factually 4 different instances, how does pd make the decision which of the 4 to send out with a send object? Might be that I'm missing out on something fundamental about subpatches. Glad for any help!

@emji It looks like you have made [voice] as an abstraction..... so it is easy.
Make the 4 voices [voice 1] [voice 2] [voice 3] [voice 4] ....... with a space between "voice" and the number.
Then connect the number box to a [s $1-voice_s]
In [voice 1] the send object will become [s 1-voice_s]
In [voice 4] it will become [s 4-voice_s]

Thanks David. This sounds like it should be working. I get back here once I made it, and should probably spend an afternoon getting deeper into the post you linked to.
