Device Details

You can do it with only gen (not gen~ and without ddg.mono and poly) object.

Thanks for the comment. I've never considered gen before. Cool object. To be honest not at all sure how I would go about making that work, though it sounds like it could be lower latency?

I think I lifted this from one of the mono synth tutorials because I wanted it to feel like a mono synth (with a memory of depressed keys so it goes back to the first note if you play polyphonically).

I would definitely be curious to know how you would do that, your patches are very elegant and useful. How did you learn?

i tried this out, and I got quite a few stuck notes?

oops sorry I turned on mpe just to make sure it accepted that, but it broke it my bad.

@fretless
gen can memorize data with Data and History variables so that you can store the state, the number of playing notes, etc.

The help patches are always the best references.
Also, "Max for Live Production Guidelines" and "Ableton Patch Code Standard for Max Devices" in Ableton's repository have many tips and awareness.
