Polyphony?
Posted: Tue Jan 22, 2008 11:41 am
John,
any news on how the Solaris is going to handle polyphony? For me, I'd probably never use more than 3 parts multitimbrality, so if the instruments polyphony is say 16, then it would be cool to be able to manually allocate the voices, eg:
1st part, 1 voice for a bass sound
2nd part, 10 voices for a pad sound
3rd part, 5 voices for a unison lead
It would probably require to manually adjust the range each sound plays on the keyboard, some sort of "zoning" as another user suggested. Also it would be great to be able to save and recall the voice allocation per preset, this way no-one has to worry about voice-stealing.
I would also be happy with a split/layer configuration. I think it's most important to do very high quality sounds at the expense of polyphony and not vice versa.
Again some suggestions.
Yannis
