how many "events"

John	Posted on Wed 20 Oct 2021, 01:09 PM in another thread KODAMO answers "The EssenceFM is not very sensitive to the number of voices playing, but more to the number of events happening at the same time. " If the device is controlled multitimbral via midi, how many sounds on how many midi channels the device can play back without any problems at the same time?
KODAMO	Posted on Wed 20 Oct 2021, 07:28 PM In practice it's a non-issue, the EssenceFM can handle several hundreds or even thousand notes per second. how many sounds on how many midi channels the device can play back without any problems at the same time? 300 different 6-OP voices, on 16 different midi channels. Multi-timbrality is said to be 16 because we talk about patches, but in reality it's way higher (300) because of layering, split and program changes that doesn't stop currently playing notes.

KODAMO	Posted on Fri 22 Oct 2021, 05:30 PM It can also handle program changes instantly unlike many synths. For advanced users that can be used to extend multi-timbrality past 16 parts, since switching between sounds is seamless.
