Another approach is to use [poly~ subpatch_1 1], [poly~ subpatch_2 1], 
[poly~ subpatch_3 1], etc. i.e. a poly with only one voice and mute 
that voice when it is not used. It is suppose to work better than 
[mute~] and worked well for me so far.

Of course, you have to make sure 2 subpatches can run concurrently.
