Polyphonic Information between 2 Instruments in 1 ensemble

Gerold Altwirth · 2025-06-24T13:42:54+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

hi, how can I wire 2 polyphonic Instruments? Instrument A contains all the knobs ( mono) and Midi Stuff ( Poly) , Instrument B houses the synth engine ( poly)

So If I want to send the Midi Pitch and Gate from A to B I would have to use the Eventcombiner, but the all Poly Informations are gone( of course)

Is there a solution?

Thank you

Best option is to redesign without encapsulating poly mechanisms within a monophonic scope.

Use Macros instead of Instruments. You can have mono and poly macros.

macros outside of an instrument? I never did this before. Lets have a try, thank you

Not quite what I meant.

I'm suggesting to have one instrument container, and within that, have a macro that has the knobs, another with the midi, and another with the synth engine…

…it's also possible that you can have one instrument talk to another via internal midi connections if you set that up properly in the ensembles connection properties. Not entirely sure because it's not my usual approach.

ah yes, thats the usual way I always did. In my specific case, Instrument1 has a Polyphonie of 256 ( created by grafics), transmitts the Informations to instrument 2 with less polyphonie,where the data from Instr1 are bundled and interpreted to drive the soundengine

Sounds complicated, sorry, thats why my initial question was simplyfied
