Re: [motm] Some Basic Patching Questions

The Pro2000 can't really do polyphony - you could use a keyboard with  2 
zones each outputting different MIDI channels that correspond to the  CV/Gates on 
the back of your Pro2000. The only thing is that you would need to  have the 
same patch programmed for each "voice" and you would have  to play intervals in 
seperate octaves on the keyboard (cause of the  zoning you would have to do, 
see ghetto ASCII graphic below). It would  be kinda funky. As one of my 
teachers said "Who the hell  needs polyphony anyways?" :). There are other MIDI to 
CV convertors out  there that can operate polyphonicly but I can't remember 
what the names of  them are. I'm sure some other MotMers would be able to help 
you out with that.  Keep in mind also that you can always record multiple 
monophonic lines as audio  into a sequencer and layer them together to achieve 
polyphony. Obviously  this wouldn't really work for a live gig but it will get the 
job done.

Very helpful Chaz! Thank you... Now I understand also how to take advantage 
of the Pro-2000.
 
 So, how would you achieve Polyphony? Even just 2-note
 polyphony?
 
 Best,
 Ithai.
