It's done the same way all polyphonic analog synths are done, in 2 areas: a) multiple "copies" of a single 'voice' b) a controller to assign which 'voice' is to be played For example, in the OB-8, there are 8 *identical* 'voices': 2 VCOs, 1 VCF, 2EGs and a VCA. In MOTM, you do the same thing: you have multiple 'sets' of modules, such as: 1 MOTM-300 VCO 1 MOTM-310 uVCO 1 MOTM-420 VCF 2 MOTM-800 EGs 1 MOTM-110 VCA as a 'set' or a 'voice'. Next, you need something to trigger/control the 'voices'. Currently, only the Kenton Pro-2000 MIDI/CV converter can do this. It is limited to 2 'voices', and each MUST be on a separate MIDI channel. The upcoming Encore Expressionist 2 module can place 8 'voices' one the *same* MIDI channel if you want. For examples, listen to the Robert Rich demos on the ARTIST page. These are 'live' recordings of his 38-module system driven as 6 to 8 simultameous 'voices' by an Expressionist. Paul S.
