Phatty Polychain

Post by kajo » Fri Apr 08, 2016 2:45 pm

Hi folks,

could someone please help me.
I would like to poly chain 4 Phattys. As far as I know one can do that by assigning a certain voice number to each synth. OK - but what happens to one of the Phattys that should play (for example) the second voice of a chord when I play only one note? Would it ignore the note?
As you can imagine in this case I would like them all to play unison.
So does anybody know how this would work?

Thanks in advance!
Kajo

My understanding is this: if you press once key, it will play one phatty, if you press that key again, it will cycle to a new phatty(but still just one), if you depress two keys, you will get two phattys, etc. It functions with each phatty as a polyphonic voice with round robin, if I am correct. Never tried it though, only read about it, so maybe someone who has done it can chime in.

When playing single notes, the system will "round robin". This can be done intentionally for interesting effects. Set each synth to a different sound, and play a bassline. Real-time glitchy awesomeness.

I don't know how either but it's an interesting idea. I did thought of doing this before but with the round robin thing didn't really work. I'll try looking at other resources for a way and share my findings. If you get any info on it too please share so everyone else may benefit. Thanks and good luck.
