Tom Williams Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Polyphony -- "Digital Piano featuring 256-note polyphony" ... but only 88 keys? So you don't use the sustain pedal? Unofficial Five-meter penalty for unnecessary snarkiness. It's actually a good point that "polyphony" nowadays usually means "number of simultaneous oscillators," where it used to mean "simultaneously sounding keys." 256 oscillator polyphony, with four-osc patches in two layers, gives you 32 keys, which sounds a lot less impressive.

J. Dan Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 If notes are sustaining while you play more notes, those count. If you layer sounds like a piano with strings, thats multiple notes of polyphony per key. Sustain those notes as you play more and they stack up in a hurry.

jverghese Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 That's true -- holding down the sustain pedal potentially consumes voices. But Tom nicely summed up what I was trying to say -- the max number of simultaneously sounding keys is usually much lower than the number of oscillators/voices. For instance, a digital piano may use two voices for playing back stereo samples, and a further two to provide seamless velocity crossfades. Thus a 128-voice piano can really only play back 32 keys at a time, which of course isn't bad, but you get the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Gehrig Charles Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 In the classic car hobby, the hot buzzword for the past few years has been "survivor". Originally meant to describe a car which is mostly all-original and unrestored (even if it has some scratches, rust and patina), the word now gets slapped onto practically any car under the sun and all the car-show spectators (and judges) fawn all over it. Hint: If you have a display stand by your car which shows photos of your car undergoing a 6-cylinder-to-V8 swap, or photos of your car getting a frame-off paint job, sorry, no, its not a "survivor".

Polychrest Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 From an IK Multimedia newsletter that just popped into my mailbox: Syntronik Krazy Deal...Save 77% off the legendary synth powerhouse...Syntronik is a cutting-edge virtual synthesizer that raises the bar in sound quality and flexibility... "Legendary" and "cutting-edge" in the same product simultaneously: the time-space continuum has been well and truly broken Quote “For 50 years, it was like being chained to a lunatic.” -- Kingsley Amis on the eventual loss of his libido Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Song80s Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 Fr.. "Legendary" and "cutting-edge" in the same product simultaneously: the time-space continuum has been well and truly broken That is really unfortunate. when I appear in the next universe, I am going to be griping about the same ' broken ' words. There is a silver lining, but I can't say it here because its political Quote Why fit in, when you were born to stand out ?
