Say "the glass is half empty", will they then:
a) "Empty the glass" and start over with a fresh attack from scratch. Synced so to say. b) Contnue from the level they were at when re-assigned, only that now "the glass is half full" instead, and the attack will reach max almost immediately. I think the latter could be more expressive when there are no more voices than you can easily direct with a single two-handed chord, to get in control of the stage again. Six voices would pretty good for that, but I remember five like the Prophet had was annoying. Or that at least I got lost fighting my own clumpsyness. Hmmm ... Split 2+4 comes to mind as well. > A selectable limit for polyphony might be a feature, that should become > more common again, not only for virtual analog synthesizers. ++ _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
