@matchboxyouth i would take a look at the help file from the clone object, it works well together with poly and with the "all" message you can send something to all instances. but it also works without clone, like in the poly synth example in 7.stuff/synth.

@Jona Thanks very much, will have a look now!

Just one other thing there, where can I find this 7.stuff/synth?

@matchboxyouth It's in thePd documentation...... along with loads of useful tutorials.....
Pd/doc/7.stuff/synth
