Polyphony

Postby mriev » Wed Aug 29, 2012 2:24 am

What is the polyphony of Addictive Keys? I'm having what I thought was a polyphony issue with a song ending where there are sustained chords with an arpeggio at the end, and when the arpeggio starts the sustained chords cut off and the arpeggio is staccato rather than being sustained. I had thought it was an issue with polyphony, but if I use the sustain pedal (control 64) all notes sustain like they should. I sent a message to Support before I found that using the sustain pedal would cause all notes to susatain like they should. I'm using Sonar 8.5.3 on a Windows 7 PC, and I'm wondering if this is something in A K or something else.

Hello! Would be great if you can export the problematic part as midi and we will check it out and see what's going on!
Or... You could use the preset save dialog in AK to record the part, save it, then go to the preset list and click share, and then just paste the link here.

I just replied to your email with an attachment of the midi file and a brief explanation of how I had the synth set up. This is the only glitch I've encountered in Addictive Keys, and I'm thoroughly impressed with it otherwise.
I've recorded some midi files with AK and played them on my very high quality audio system in comparison to some very good live recordings of acoustic pianos, and it's virtually impossible to tell which is live and which is Adictive Keys, except on a few very dynamic pieces where the midi limitation of 127 levels is barely noticeable when listening critically. Those were solo recordings and this limitation (in midi, not in AK) becomes indistinguishable in a mix with oither instruments.

And the answer is... Plenty!!!
My issue was not with polyphony, it was with a note off command being generated in automated midi composer.software.
