Yamaha PRO 9000 And Polyphony Issue - 11/21/01 07:38 PM
As a KN5000 owner, I am thinking of a Keybaord upgrade. I might go for a change of sound, and go for Yamaha.
However, I would like to know how well the Yamaha 9000 Pro Handles Polyphony. It has 126 Notes, but how would it work in a Sequence programme (Cakewalk/Cubase), in that, would the "8 elements" that are used for some sounds make the Piano cut off when you hold down tha sustain pedal?
Or To put it bluntly: has any Yamaha 9000 Owner ever experiened Note cut-off, because a bit of math calculation tells me that three layered sounds of say "C E G C" in both hands (8 notes), with 8 elements per note, would take up 192 notes....or rather it wouldn't, because 126 is the Maximum!. So is the "So-claimed" 126 notes Polyphony that good afterall?? - and since the PSR2000 uses "only" Four elements, and obtains a good sound, would this be a better buy?. (I have plenty of cash/room for the Pro 9000 BTW, so money no object here.
To Yamaha pro 9000 users:, What sounds onboard DO use 8 elements on there sounds? - and what about the Piano? (Technics uses TWO), How many the Yamaha?. I am hoping that "8 element" voices are specialists ones,(not that many in other words) as a "String layer" comprising of these amounts of layers would put limits on other sounds when used in sequence mode, and many more tracks etc
