Hi Chad. I have been thinking about "finishing" a MOTM system :-)
I my way of thinking for this kind of sampling to sound nice at all, you
need to sample every note. Otherwise, as the sampler changes the speed of
the sample to play it back transposed up or down slightly the beat rate
between the sampled oscillators will vary from note to note.
I have used the MOTM-410 and 420 to filter some polyphonic stuff from a
digital machine. It worked well IMHO.
The type of polyphony you describe where you have multiple digital
oscillators but maybe a single filter does have some drawbacks. It might be
fine for string ensembles and such. But, remember that the filter and
amplifier envelopes will not be different for each note pressed as would be
normal in a polyphonic synth (well most of them).

Subject: [motm] Have you tried this with your MOTM?
I am thinking of building a MOTM system soon.
I was wondering if anyone has used a high quality sampler to sample
different MOTM OSC mixes, created multiple samples of these mixes to
span the entire range of the keyboard and used this to run through
the rest of the MOTM modules trigured by MIDI to create a polyphonic
MOTM synthesizer.
Example: (2) MOTM 300s Sawtooth/detuned. Sample this over multiple
ranges.
Then send this from the sampler output through the MOTM filters, EGs
to create a rich polyphonic string sound.
Also has anyone had really interesting sonic results using just the
MOTM filters on other polyphonic digital synthesizers to create an
interesting digital/analogue hybrid sound much like what the the
Prophet VS design set out to do?
