Newbie ? Is the MB Sid Multitimbral?

[snowbird]

Hi

I would like to know if I build a c step 2 or more SID box is it setup to be multitimbral? Can I assign differnt notes to different midi channels  on my sequencer and have them play different patches on the box?

thx guys, this looks awesome!

Hello,

but one more question please:

It's one voice per opl3 ?so more you put this board, more you get patch playing together ?

I would know if it's right, thanks to answer me !!

maybe time to read some more of the websites uriel ;) the OPL3 is MBFM, that's a different project.

sorry mate...

it was late and i came from a opl3 subject...i was talking about Sid, of course (i don't modifie my last post):

as i read, a sid has 3 voices but 1 midi channel !!!

So my question is if i want to make 16 channel sequence with sid sounds, i need 16 Sid ??? is it right stryd_one ? thre's no other solutions !!!!

Bye

In MBSID V1 you have to use the split keyboard function in order to assign the oscillators to different keyboard zones. This allows you to play them over a single MIDI channel seperately.

In MBSID V2, there will be a special poly mode (-> see Wishlist where the details are explained)

Thanks to explain...ok,this is the next step !!! anyway it goes straight to make MB system performing as comercial product (as i dream !!! but i worked on a similar project whish was open source and i know the power of this kind of real massive working bench !! )

Right for MBSID V2, i already love it as it's ringging!!!

Poly-mode should be usefull to make proper sequencer with sound sources !!!
