[sdiy] Thoughts on a Polyphonic Synth

[harrybissell]

You would need to duplicate all the modules that you wished for
in one voice.  8 eg for the VCF is probably a bare minimum.

You probably would like 2 VCO per voice...

And a way to keep them all in tune. Usually they use a computer
to measure the frequency error and compensate per MIDI note number.
Lookup table kind of thing...

One thing that is NOT obvious... making a very complex single
voice (like for a mono patch) will not be so satisfying in a poly.
It will either get 'muddy' sounding... or blend so well that it
is totally smooth
