There is a problem that I face often.
The instrument seems to be sound good when you play a note or a chord. But when suddenly you start to play a chord with both of the hands the sound is clipped. I can scale the volume by the number of fingers. But then the single played note is too quiet. Of course it never happens on the real piano. Why to solve this problem properly? How the hardware synths typically solve this problem? Should I monitor the number of played notes? Or there is some better solution? Anton |

Conventional response is to count active notes (use active opcode) and scales by square root of number. ==John ff On Sat, 25 Jul 2015, Anton Kholomiov wrote: > There is a problem that I face often.

Could someone post a simple example? On Sat, Jul 25, 2015 at 12:40 PM, jpff <jpff@codemist.co.uk> wrote: Conventional response is to count active notes (use active opcode) and scales by square root of number. |
