Hi all.

Here we have a run-of-the-mill [line~] based sampler;

patch: polyphony.pd

Pretty basic. One "limitation" about this design, however, is that whenever you hit the play button, the current sound stops and [tabread4~] jumps back to the beginning and begins playing again. Of course, this is expected and is what we want most of the time.

But what would I need to do if, when I hit the play button, I didn't want the sound to cut-off and start over, but continue? In other words, if you depress the sustain pedal on a piano and play multiple notes, you hear each note play out its full length, but you also hear all other notes enter as well.

I envision I would need a bunch of **[tabread4]**s to accomplish this. Would they all be able to read from the same buffer? Or would I have to copy the sample into multiple arrays?

How would I handle the triggering mechanism for this? I want this to sound like a piano in my example above. Each note is triggered individually, but the onset of each note doesn't affect any others.

Let me know if I am not explaining this well.

@LiamG Ah I wasn't being clear. I am envisioning triggering samples like piano notes with the sustain pedal held down. Each time you trigger a note, you hear each note play for it's full allotted time.

In my sampler above, tabread4 can only keep track of one note at a time. I was wondering if there is an elegant way to keep track I multiple voices at the same time.

I Am currently doing just that however my setup is with a midi controller....

you basically need to make copies of your sampler.e.g if you want it to be able to play 5 sounds at the same time make 5 copies.

You need to find a way to route your "play sample" button to each copy every time you press the "play sample"

here is something to explain..... hopefully

Samplepoly.pd

I see, sorry for the confusion. @jjegede01 's solution will work, although you will always be limited to 5 (or however many) playbacks at one time.

You can use my multisl object to visualize the playback if you want.

Can you try posting that link again? I keep getting redirected to a 404 error page.

Make sure to look at v1.2.

@seed Thanks for the heads-up, although D11.sampler.poly to me seems incomplete. Is this what you have?

I can get the qlist file to play, but I feel like the sample triggering mechanism is missing. Shouldn't there be something going in the left inlet of the first [sampvoice] abstraction?

look at [s note] in
