Man I LOVE monophonic synths!
Give me a great monophonic synth over a mediocre polyphonic one ANY day!
I am SO happy that Re-Pro is going to be monophonic.
Everyone, Re-Pro is going to be M O N O P H O N I C !
Woot! I love it!

There are tons of polyphonic synths out there. All other U-he synths are in fact polyphonic. So why is it the end of the world if Re-pro becomes purely monophonic? If you don't like it don't buy it. Buy one of the other synths instead.

Out of interest and to save me and probably many other newcomers to this thread a very long time scanning the many pages.
Is the model 108 people suggested sounds most analogue the one to be included and did it take more CPU cycles to model the analogue behaviour ?
Will there be just one filter model or a CPU friendly option ?

You said that. Thats your logic.AnX wrote:So if repro1 was poly, it would be mediocre? Great logic.spunkmuffin wrote:

It's neither of the original 5, but it's based on the algorithm of #3. The model was refined and brought to a point where we can not distinguish it from the actual hardware anymore.Synthman2000 wrote:Out of interest and to save me and probably many other newcomers to this thread a very long time scanning the many pages.

Here's a roundup of the results:

Btw. I think the one that 108 people preferred was preferred because it was louder and more aggressive than the more analogue sounding #3.

Mmh, most polyphonic synths have a mono option, with different modes. Why a synth which is purely monophonic by default can be a reason to get so cheerful is beyond me.spunkmuffin wrote:Man I LOVE monophonic synths!

Nonetheless i understand the design decision to make a dedicated emulation monophonic, when the modelled synth was monophonic. If the emulation is supposed to be a pure emulation of the synth.

I don't think it is silly... I think there is something to it... To focus on just making the sound best for mono is different for making it best for poly. To make it for both, there is either some compromise, or plenty extra development time. I suspect to maximize both is to some extent have 2 synths in one.Echoes in the Attic wrote:
Actually I think you are missing my point. I don't care if it's monophonic. In fact I almost only use Diva in mono mode. But why should someone like me, who doesn't need the polyphony in a specific synth actually want others not to be able to use it in poly mode? Perhaps other people don't have as many synths as me. And I already mentioned that if it's a cost issue then that makes sense. But that's a specific debate and people who mono only are really requested a lower price, at the expense of polyphony (or other features for that matter). So I'm just saying besides price, the other reasons are silly excuses (like a synth being better suited to mono sounds etc).
In theory, anything can be done in software... but practice is not theory. Someone saying (can't speak for every person's motivations) they want a mono synth is not saying to someone else that they don't want them to have polyphony, it is saying that they want a synth focused on making the best monophonic sounds with a feature set focused on mono sounds. They are reflecting the difference between theory and practice. So yes, in the imaginary perfect world, there is no reason not to have polyphony because it is perfectly manifest at the very thought. But that world does not exist.

No, it would just require a weeks work (his words)Dasheesh wrote:Christ guys listen to him. The guy is telling you he would have to scale it back to make it poly. Such is the limitations of software.
Cant see the problem. So some sounds/features would be diff in poly mode.... change that feat when its in poly mode to act correctly or made it unusable in poly mode. Legato etc is not a big deal in poly.

Im sure a manual could deal with those 'problems'Urs wrote:
Making it poly is a piece of cake and can be done in less than a week. However, many many things would be considered a bug or bad design.

Yes, great, let's do it and tell everyone that we won't do a Prophet-5 emulation because of it. Consider it done!AnX wrote:No, it would just require a weeks work (his words)Dasheesh wrote:Christ guys listen to him. The guy is telling you he would have to scale it back to make it poly.

Yes, because we know for sure that everybody reads the manual before they contact our support, or post a rant on KVR.AnX wrote:Im sure a manual could deal with those 'problems'Urs wrote:
