MOTM

I was reading the early version of the '650 manual.  I thought (and I 
could be wrong) that it would do duophonic voice allocation ala the 
Odyssey or Octave Cat.  Does it or do I misremember?

As long as I've been on this group I still make the same mistake: send
to poster instead of to the group. Crap. Either I'm stupid or the user
interface SUCKS.

I posted to David that the 650 has 2/2 mode which is essentially two
duophonic modes if you set them up al Poly and on separate channels.

You're not wrong. The interface sucks.

But is that two separate notes all the time, or two outputs that are 
either in unison or separate depending on how many notes you play? 
Didn't the Odyssey play two oscillators off one note, but if you 
played two notes at the same time the  oscillators played different 
notes? Does the 650 do that?

Scott,

The 650 has Unison mode, which stacks all available channels across
how many notes are played. Sounds like what you are asking for.

On the 650 or the email program? ;-)

Try unison steal. I think that's what David is looking for.

I was referring to the yahoo list web interface, which I use instead
of being email bombed from all the lists I belong to.

In replying to your message, if I just hit send it will send it to you
via private email instead of the list, which is what you want 99% of
the time.

The list owner/moderator sets the reply preferences within the yahoo 
group.  The default can be reply to list or reply to sender.  The 
preferences have been debated endlessly on the groups since long 
before yahoo purchased them from (?, there's a senior moment, I've forgotten).

Anyway, a valuable life lesson is that in business or personal or 
public communication, you might want to *always* check the To: and 
CC: distribution lines prior to clicking "send".  A quick spell check 
is also helpful.

My (Fortune 500) company is awash in idiotic "me too" and "thanks" 
emails from people who think "reply to all" is a cool thing.

Meanwhile, I hope to receive my first MOTM gear soon (a 650 and a 
triple resonant filter).  These shall not be my last.

Take care,

Sounds like it. The Oddysey did it by setting one oscillator to respond 
to the high note and one to the low note.  So if you hit only one key, 
you got both, but if you hit more than that, the highest went to one, 
the lowest to the other.  Will unison do that high/low allocation?  
When you're using two similar oscillators, it's no big deal, but when 
one is FMing, ring modulating, or synched to the other, that's where 
the magic happens and why it's important that one is consistantly high 
and one consistantly low.  Did that explain it?

:)

Sorry to waste bandwidth complaining about it, though.
