i have a quick question that maybe someone can answer and save me the trouble of setting up the necessary experiments... When you use "stage 0" in the poly section, does it in fact run for every voice that is initiated? I have a routine that MUST be run for every voice and I'm debating using "stage 0" or setting up a conditional that checks for envelope stage 1 and I'd like to know the most consistent, accurate way to test for the first sample of each voice.

Thanks in advance.

To be 100% sure, I would use the trigger output of the MIDI to Poly - it always gives a logic 'true' for a single sample at note start. Stage (0) does work most of the time, but IIRC there are some exceptions - e.g. when you exceed polyphony and a voice is 'stolen', or set the M2P to re-use the same voice for identical pitches.

Excellent! Thank you. I hadn't even thought of that.

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
