Hi programmers of virtual synthesizers :) more than an hour ago I wiped of the dust of my old Oberheim to make soundfonts of some basses, but some pad sounds captivated me. The Oberheim is limited by 6-voice polyphony, resp. this isn't a limitation for those sounds. Virtual synth often tend to make the mix muddy, when playing pad sounds, because the polyphony isn't limited, every released note is able to end the complete release decay. For the Oberheim some notes are cut, while the wanted notes still can play the release decay.
A selectable limit for polyphony might be a feature, that should become more common again, not only for virtual analog synthesizers. I know that e.g. fluidsynth-dssi has a global setting for polyphony, but the problem with this is, that it has impact to all used fluidsynth-dssi plugins.
