Fran,

This is the post I really was referring to,written by a well known professional and teacher I also feel it is a very credible response regarding polyphony.You as a professional should know if this post is valid.


I think I did the typical, normal play polyphony usage in another thread. 128 notes to start.

Let's assume that the 3 RH voices you use are 2-layers each and you play a four note chord. So that's 3x4x2= 24. Then add a 4 note left hand chord with a 2-layer voice, that's another 8, making 32. That still leaves 96 voices for the accomp and multi pads.

Even allowing for some use of sustain, that still leaves some reserves. The note-robbing algorithm is a bit more complex than letting the oldest notes go first. It tries to let the least significant notes go. Most times, you won't even notice it working, if indeed it has to.

I did some playing during my review session using the style mentioned in the OP, and I found no such problems, but it's something I'll follow up on in part 2 of my review.


Fran I Hope this helps you understand the credibility cap I feel is prevalent in the aforementioned articles,Although this has to some degree been explained by Scott

Gilbert.
