Description
polyphonic midi to mono.
Fixed MPE related hanging notes.

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?
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.
