Re: [emax] Emax voice issues

2009-02-03 by Brooks Mosher

okay, i've confirmed now that i'm only getting 3 note polyphony.  loaded up
my own sample, not a dual voice preset, no chorus, and if i play more than
three notes, voices start to get cut off.

what could be causing this??  on the EIII i used to own there was one voice
out but it would distort and i just turned it off under the disable channel
function.  on my Emax there are NO channels disabled.  this is really
strange because it's not VCO's so how the hell could FIVE voice be out????

if anyone has any insight it would mean a lot.  i'm hoping this is something
trivial.

(this might be what i get for buying an emax for cheap on Ebay)

thanks again,


Brooks
