8 voices is so little... Older FM synths could do a lot more, even if they didn't have the VCFs/VCAs. Older sound modules tended to be full-song workhorses, while the Digitone has more of a tracker philosophy. That's ok, but they could at least have done 16 voices so we can have nice chord pads with bass, melody and drums.
The Yamaha MODX has 64-voice FM polyphony, but of course not a compact module (but it could be, probably, but there is no market for it).
- JodieBenitez 3y agoI do nice chords pads with bass, melody and drums on the Digitone... just use those sound locks :-)
- weatherlight 3y agoYeah, it’s 8 sounds at a time, so the different channels voice steal. It turns out not to be a big drawback.
