OBERHEIM SYNTH

The systemizer can also assign module output based on note position, so the
top note played goes to one source while the next one to another etc. This
is great for creating horn sections, but also could make for some
interesting things in other contexts.

Y'all are making me miss my systemizer. I just wish they'd made one that
could systemize multiple MIDI out ports. (I am up to 6 so far and will fill
all 8 before long)

I suppose "alternating" or "next one" assignment would be much the same
thing as even/odd in all practicality.

The beauty of this kind of interleaving is both the mutli-tonality idea and
the overall richness. Because instead of using some kind of detuned patch or
modulation to richen a sound, a perfectly static sound can be used
(increasing the defenition) coupled with a more modulated secondary sound
for the other module (the even notes, letssay). 

In a chord, the static patch lends a stoic defintion to the sound but
there's still some motion present from the other module.

In some ways, "next one" assigment might even be better. Because, with
even/odd, each note has a predetermined destination. Middle C (note 60?) is
always an even number, and will always play on that same module. Depending
on key and style, this might be perfect, but just for mixing things up, it
might not.

With "next one" altnernating assignment, this now becomes a random function
which is entirely more organic, if that's what you're looking for.

Certainly worth experimenting :-)
