Polyphonic question
Posted: Sat Mar 04, 2017 1:33 pm
I've just returned after a 9 year absense! Started playing with SynthMaker back ~2008, but life & work got in the way back then and I drifted away.
More recently I've got into programming Arduino etc., mainly to enable me to build my own MIDI keyboard encoders and suchlike, and now that I pretend to be 'retired' and have a little more relevant knowledge I have just started to look at FS again.
Believe it or not, I'm still inspired by the same project that I was looking at in 2008. I still have the master plan(!), which mostly involves playing lots of single cycle progammable waveforms. Many of the algorithms that I'll need I have already proved in C within Arduino/Teensy, so onward.
Anyway ... rather than going into any of the details at this stage, can someone help me with a very fundamental question (and since I barely know what I'm doing yet I dare say there's an embarrassing explanation ..
- which is:
Why does this schematic not play polyphonically?
And for that matter what determines whether a design is polyphonic or monophonic, or sets its polyphony limit?
Grateful if someone can set me on the right lines.
