MIDI Note Overflow


 

开云体育

Hi all,

?

Am I correct in thinking there is no way to use 2 QY70’s in a note overflow way?

That is, that if the max polyphony is reached then the notes are sent on to the second unit.

?

It doesn’t seem to be very common, but I know the Roland D-110 can do it.

?

Regards,

Andy

Hi Andy,

there is no native way to do it. However, it is possible to code a microprocessor to do this (I’ve done it). The only case where this shouldn’t work is when notes interact with other notes, eg: sympathetic resonance.

Thanks for replying Kaltar,

?

I’m intrigued by your microprocessor solution! Would that have to count the notes used and dynamically split them out?

?

Thinking about it, I guess a simpler method would be to send specific Channels to each QY70, but that wouldn’t be overflow, and you’d still have to manage polyphony manually.

?

They’re still fascinating little boxes.

If polyphony is the limitation, instead of trying to create note overflow solution, you can instead just limit one device to certain instruments, and the other to the other instruments, sounds easier in my opinion to trying to program a microprocessor, or some desktop or mobile midi software for that matter, which could very well work the same.


 

I'm not sure on that, I do know what your talking about there is a word? for it. I think the Vocas should have that on most of there units. They would really benefit from it. I believed you can set the amount of notes being played on each track on the QY70.I'm not sure on that though.
