So, I just hooked up my Minitaur to my LP and set the LP to poly 1of 2. It ...sorta..works. I can get 2 note chords to happen, but it's dodgy at best. I will mess with settings some more and see what happens. My guess is, once it's dialed in right, it could work.EMwhite wrote:I'm not expert since I only have a single Little Phatty but I believe that the latest algorithm uses a round robin scheme where the first Phatty (#1) doles out the subsequent notes to the other Phatty's (or endpoint devices).
Not sure if the algorithm doesn't care about what is on the end point, if maybe it simply sends the next notes on subsequent channels sort of how the Oberheim Matrix 1000 did, or if the downstream synths hear ALL of the notes and have to count on their own knowing that each n'th note is destined for them.
I'm guessing but hopefully my possibly inaccurate account of how this works will provoke others to correct me : )
There are a number of folks that hang out here regularly that have more than one Phatty and it won't be too difficult to get this tested. (it's one thing to use it quite another to understand how it works and how else it might be applied).
I can tell you one thing, I once had a dream of having my Little Phatty talk with my Taurus III in a Poly mode (albeit a rudimentary one) but could never get it working; the latest code dispenses with the older algorithm which means that Taurus III is not yet compatible.
The majority of Midi devices will work with a Low note / High note scheme but it's rather shoddy, meaning that you literally have to HOLD a note in order to get the 2nd note recognized as the high note, for instance, or press two near simultaneously.
Interested to see what comes out of this thread... hopefully something!
I gave up. Instead I rerouted my MIDI config. Just spent the past hour sequencing the LP & MT together (hardpanned LR) while I did my best Keith Emerson Stunt Solo on a MophoKeyTetra. I was in the zone man. I need a glittery jacket for moments like that.muksys wrote:So, I just hooked up my Minitaur to my LP and set the LP to poly 1of 2. It ...sorta..works.

So your saying it works with any synth?jeepo wrote:The poly mode works by counting how many notes have been presses and then playing the one assigned to that machine. If the phatty is voice 3/4 then on the third note played that synth would be triggered, and then once synth's 4/4, 1/4, 2/4 have played then synth 3/4 is used agian.
The Phattys used to use some other scheme to distribute midi notes, however it has since changed to this "round-robin" scheme described above by jeepo. The Voyager is still working on the old scheme, so at this stage Phattys and Voyagers can't be polychained, unless the Voyager poly scheme is changed in the future (Amos has previously mentioned this would be a good idea).Playrecords wrote:Hmm so it's unstable unless used with another phatty/voyager?
A single slim will only be monophonic. You need as many phattys as you want voices.Playrecords wrote:So your saying it works with any synth?jeepo wrote:The poly mode works by counting how many notes have been presses and then playing the one assigned to that machine.

The question is does it work with non MOOG synths.... I've bought it anyway so I'll answer the question myself I suppose.
