Re: [xl7] Re: Maybe a retorical question on polyphony utilization

Thanks Steve for replying.  It made me also remember the filter order....jut when I increased the filter order of one of the voices last night....I need to verify I didn't loose any nearby notes.  

BTW, the 128 number I gave was the max. simple/advertised polyphony of the XX-7 (not the bpm I am using)..... 

I will re-review the old discussions to see how I can save some voices.....

  I've never seen such a feature. I imagine the overhead to track and 
  display # of voices in use in realtime would cut into the box's 
  performance. 

  I assume you know ways to cut down on the number of voices being used 
  (get rid of unneeded chorus, get rid of 12-pole filters, make use 
  unused layers have 000:none as instruments, etc.). Others interested in 
  this might search the archives for "MOP"--Maxed Out Polyphony. (I seem 
  to remember some discussions.)

  BTW, I am wondering if the 128 BPM limit is a hardware or software [OS] 
  issue. Anyone know?
