Poly

Poly allows you to have N# of instances of a subpatch. Lets you run and access them at the same time. Used for faking a midi instrument.

Basically lets you handle multiple notes/voices etc.

Think of it as using video. YOu can have a siungle set of objects in a patch/abstraction and call upon it multiple times. Eliminates the delay by pre-loading information.

Look at in the jitter examples for quicktime to other to poly to poly-forMovies - Pan did it better than the example. Movies can maintain their own settings.

You could pull random frames from movies, have many things available for quick switching.
