The EX5 was released 25 years ago, isn't that exactly your favorite "period of personal interest to constantly reminiscence about" (besides the 1970s)? But i'll give you a hint:
Code:
All is exciting and fantastic until one reads the polyphony spec:
Voice Type EX5/5R Polyphony EX7 Polyphony -------------- ---------------- ------------- AWM/Drum 126 64 VL+AWM 1+AWM FDSP 16 8 AN(Poly)+AWM 2+AWM 1+AWM AN(Layer)+AWM 1+AWM AN+FDSP AN:1; FDSP:8 So, I would forget about that fat stack of AN or VL oscillators (layers). Forget phat two-handed analog chords.
