    Hello.
    I like James Walker Hall's GRANULATOR. I created very authentic Fairlight Voices (from choir samples) with it.
    However, when I set Gate to "Poly" and the number of voices to e.g. 10, I get a weird phenomenon:

    I can't play proper chords with it because old (from keys already released) voices are played along with the newly pressed keys.

    Sounds like the ancient synths that had only 1 VCA for all their voices.

    I tried literally everything to circumvent this behavior. No chance.

    Who could enlighten me what to do ?

    Thanks Sowari, for the reply.
    So, where can I see how many additional voices an Ens might tolerate without issues (beyond the number of voices displayed in the top right corner) ?

    by looking at its structure ;)

    and believe me this Ensemble has a really complex structure.

    Are you saying that making Granulator into a polyphonic Ens would be very difficult ?

    (I am not a builder btw.)

    i think it would be very hard yes, even if you were a bit experienced.

    basically Granulator has been made to only work with 1 voice, so any changed would require a considerable amount of skill.

    fwiw. i am uploading a very simple Graincloud Sampler that is polyphonic. the problem is that the higher the note the more you hear in terms of the Sample Length.

    anyway, this might be of interest. and because of the current state of the NI Website, i can't include the sample.
