Re: Nifty chord memory trick!

2004-08-03 by Alexander

I'm running the upgrade (os 1.06) for the SH32... and as far as i can
tell it didnt change squat ;P

the filter didnt step really that bad to begin with. (ensoniq SQ80 is
much worse) most people were just bitching...they were probably
comparing it to a real analog filter... because that's something it's not.

and i just tryed it ... the Unison mode on the SH32 does ALMOST the
same thing as on the polly. but i like how the poly does it better...
more bleepy-nintendoish-chiptunes-goodness :D 

the poly800 is like the SQUARE WAVE GURU :)
