Why? Do you even know? Oh wait, of course. You think I just slap a fuck load of keys, and hit play. Right.

1) It's completely retarded.
2) It makes it completely impossible to do any sort of meaningful EQing on the sound, or even mix it.
3) It's completely retarded.

Now stop derailing other people's threads, fuck! Nobody cares how many voices you use or how you make your pads!

You fail at the mechanics of sound. Do you even know the relationship of octaves and the audio spectrum? If you did, you wouldn't say stupid shit all the time. [PS, derailing? You attacked me, you should know better than that by now]

Originally posted by sixofour.604 Yes, the synths can support 64 of the 88 keys on my keyboard being pressed at once. Thats also translated to 64 "voices" I make pads that use 10 octaves pretty much every time I make a pad. Using 3-4 key chord progressions. Thats atleast 40 keys being pressed at once.

10 octaves seems rather pointless to me. Doubling on two octaves makes it big, three octaves huge, but 10 octaves is ridiculous. The lowest and highest few octaves hardly have any (useful) sound in them, and such layering would probably ruin the sound.

Oh well, whatever works.

Anyway, 8 voices is not a lot yes, but most people don't need more than that for single parts.

Well, I find that there is a difference between 3 and 10 or 8. Its subtle, but its there. Espseially if you put a reverb, and mute the carrier and just have the wet 100%. You get a nice [imho] wash of sound.

As for 8 polyphony. If you put a delay on it. It is greatly reduced. And it seems that there is no excuse for not having 32 or 64 voices. As I understand it, this is a softsynth in a box. So it doesn't seem like it would have been that hard to add more. Sometimes when I use unison, I have 9 voices. All slightly detuned.

calm down folks. the radias has 24......not 8 - the other poster was talking about his m3 model, which is the little brother of the radias

Ah... see I couldn't pay that much for 24 voices. how many does the Blofeld have again? Isn't it like 64? Maybe thats why no one bothers with the radias.

LOLOLOL 10 octaves. That's the funniest thing I have ever heard. Please post a sample! Curious how it sounds.

Well, I won't post the 10 octaves, but I'll post some sounds from my Radias once it arrives. (If I can figure out how to use it!)

Uh, yeah, I'm an engineer you moron, every octave represents a doubling of the frequency. Which means if you start at A220, which is about as low as you can go before going into sub-bass ranges, you'll have fundamentals all the way up to 112 kHz. That's several octaves above canine hearing range. If your synth even lets you do that, all you're doing is creating aliasing distortion.

Even if you meant, say, 7 octaves, which would actually be within the range of human hearing, it's still a ridiculously bad idea to have one sound (and a pad - a background element no less!) spanning the entire spectrum.

Nice appeal to authority. Really, do you argue just to argue? Are you so uptight that you look into a book and it says "X is not possiable/redundant" and you take it as is, and don't actually go mess around with it? You sound like a piano teacher who always whines about how you have to do it "properly" when the shit works in many ways.

Or better yet, why don't you post some music that's unique and of value in some way? You always talk about this and that and how things should be, but you have yet to even post a shred of sound. All you do is paraphrase what you read in some book.

Uh oh, I render mp3s in 450kbit, even though no one can tell the difference passed 320kbit...you need to penalize me diginut!

you two are like Freud and Carl Jung - given your both intelligent people i'm sure you both understand. Both presented equally valid theories of their times - yet both chose to discredit each other from their wisdom proclaiming one to absolute over the other (although, early on they were best of friends - this is prob not the case here). However, this is not my point, the point is Freud consistently gave Jung a hard time about his theory and vice versa to some extent, and further, he did it in such a manner to an end, to hopefully remove all of jung's credibility, even though Jung perhaps layed the foundation.

The point is - look im not moderator or anything Im just a Human on planet earth like the rest of you, i just wish we could take a more appropriate approach when speaking with regards to certain subject matter. i.e. musical notion or anything.

Show each other some respect is it that hard - we all have opinions, I have opinions - but it does not mean that I must degrade another person simply to make a point "

thats my two cents!
