[maxmsp] Alternative to Poly?

Better not, you know that the last signalvector would be repeated while 
muted? Instead of a pass~ object, I just wait a signalvecor before 
muting. There is no speed issue here.
I guess a signal rate muting would not be worth the overhead. But there 
is nothing wrong with implementing it in plain Max. The whole Pd 
community is doing polyphonic voice allocation by hand... (Don't know 
about the coding overhead it will eat... ;-)

And technically speaking, you can't get faster muting/unmuting than 
signal vector rate anyway. If scheduler in audio interrupt is on, that's 
exactly the scheduler rate...

Muting is not about controlling sound, it's about controlling processor 
overhead. It would not make sense to eat extra cycles for esoteric faith 
in "better if everything is in audio rate"...

The busystate, which could be abused for controlling sound, is signal 
rate by the way...
