Having each osc having their own midi channel would solve the issue, right? If i understand the problem that is..

It doesn't work that way. A poly synth has the concept of voices. Voices depend on tuning and gate/trigger information that is shared among all modules of each voice. That is, what makes the concept of voices feasible is that is that gates and tunings can be distinguished in groups, usually MIDI notes with note number and on/off state. Hence, as long as you're polyphonic, there's no way to map multiple tunings and or gate signals to single voices. Like, you can't just play "half a voice" when one half got a trigger while the other half hadn't.Crackbaby wrote:Having each osc having their own midi channel would solve the issue, right?

However! A single gate + multiple tuning information is possible, even "kind of" polyphonic. The duophonic mode we offer in Bazille is an example for that. It's got a monophonic gate and multiple (well, 1 or 2) pitch information signals, distributed to oscillators and Mod Sources. In Bazille/ACE/Diva/Hive it's furthermore available per MIDI Channel, so that, using the right controller (e.g. Linnstrument, Seaboard, QuNexus, Continuum, Eigenharp...) it may work as a compromise.
Another solution would be using MIDI channels to offset the pitch of individual oscillators for all voices while maintaining common polyphony on a single channel. That however isn't very compatible with whatever controllers people have around, and it contradicts the current movement of multi MIDI channel implementations (MPE etc.)
Note, all of this is no issue in a monophonic synth. Bazille is generally polyphonic though.
So... it's complicated.
