Polyphony???

Post by CasaRojo » Mon Feb 07, 2005 12:11 am

I just ordered a Performer from North Coast Music and got a killer deal BTW! $2398 with gig bag and shipping. I've been waiting 25 years for this synth, litterally. I bought a Mini Moog model D new in 1978 and by 1983 the VCOs were totally shot, not to mention the key contacts were worn out. I'm told I'll have my new Mini within 5 days and I can't wait. Anyway, is there any hardware available, like more VCOs or whatnot that will allow more than mono? BTW I had one of the first Memorymoogs... nothing like a Mini... was very disapointed but the LEDs were cool in diagnostic mode <G>.
Thanks,
CasaRojo

Casa -

One of the Voyager's OS updates added a command to chain up to sixteen Voyagers together to make a composite 16 voice system. Should work with the RME as well.

I'm sure this is what TonyR is referring to.
