Elektron Musical Instruments

hhaving multiple oscillators per synth  DOES NOT equate polyphony 
polyphony = seperate voice, seperate playable individual filter per 
voice...if that's their explanation that's a tad bit weak...makes me 
scared to own a synth of theres if they don't understand that's not 
polyphony!:o

I don't really see them using any complex cpu stealing algorithms? 
the whole thing seems like some simple programming?(i could be wrong 
though?)

hehe :) i really wouldn't mind 6 polyphonic sids i think thatd' be 
badass, i really bought this ysnth cuz of the sid emulators

I do wish tho that there were more oscs for some of the synths...

pretty cool synth tho,  you really don't think it's a work in 
proggress synth?  I undrestand it's not beta anymore...but, ya never 
know?:o   i was thinking by os 2.0 it'd be fully finalizeD:)

i don't think adding polyphony would change the market of the 
synthesizer...nor take too much proccessing power!!!:)...come on for 
the price these are they gotta have some nice cpu in them!:)...i hope 
all the $ didn't go into marketing and cosmetics!!!:P (since they 
have a very good marketing and very good cosmetics for synth)
