Dynamic resizing of hardcoded effect slot channels

[JL.LV]

Hi.

I have a sampler that loads sample maps with different channel amounts.
These get fed into a poly hardcoded effect slot.
The effect has compile channel amount set to 8, to accommodate for a sample map with a maximum of 8 channels (some have 2, 4 and 6). When I load a sample map with less than 8 channels, I get the error message on the node "Error! channel mismatch expected:8 actual:#"

Is there a way to dynamically change the amount of channels for the poly hardcoded effect slot?
Something similar to setUseStaticMatrix(); but for the Hardcoded effect slot?

@JL-LV No that's not possible - if you compile it with 8 channels, it expects 8 channels.

Can you compile the effect as stereo version and then use 4 of them?

Not easily. We are using 6 instances of the effects and we already have an effect slot structure in place using 5 hardcoded effects (one per slot), of which only one is poly.
