Re: Maybe a retorical question on polyphony utilization

2006-03-10 by ferrograph632

>>The 128 limit is a hardware one.....there's no screen to view
polyphony.  There is in the E4, but not the P2k/XL-7 series.  If I
remember right, there's a sysex command to enable output of a cc that
would follow channel count, but I don't know if that was in release
code or just debugging stuff.  I'll dig around...<<

I would be interested in that too. I remember staring at the screen of
my esi32's in abject horror at how the polyphony just drained away...
especially if you stuck some "chorus" on summat. these days I tend to
leave that function off on the proteus boxes & find more
predictable/controllable ways to fatten the sound up. it's a pity the
proteus chassis didn't have an overflow option where you could
daisy-chain them to add to the available voices.
