[maxmsp] Re: saving CPU with poly~

Hi Dan,

I have had excellent results using poly~ to curb CPU-usage. Just put each block of DSP that can be turned on and off as a unit into a 1-voice poly~ and then organize your DSP economy in the main patch, such that every poly~ subpatch is only turned on when you need it. I recommend to avoid using send~/receive~ inside of poly~ to communicate with the outside world, as this can introduce noticeable timing discrepancies. Best to use in~ and out~ instead.

HtH,
