Question About the Poly-Modes in Spire

[Rasco]

Hello,

I have a question about the polyphonic modes in Spire. Is there a "mono 3 Portamento flow" or "mono 4 Legato flow" equivalent for poly?

I have a pad sound here with a HPF move at the beginning (ENV4 -> Filter Cutoff). Now I don't want the Env 4 to retrigger that filter move everytime I play a note (while others are being pressed) but only when no other notes are being played at the moment. This works for monophonic sounds in "mono 3" mode, when a note is already pressed and another is played the envelope doesn't trigger again, only when no other note is played.

I can do this in Serum by enabling "Legato", but I can't find a similar feature in Spire.

Hope someone can help, thanks in advance:)

Cheers

Does it work in the "Poly 2" mode? It says in the manual that it's a legato mode, but it doesn't say anything about retriggering the envelopes.

No change in envelope behaviour between poly 1 and 2 unfortunately. Only mono 3 and mono 4 don't retrigger the envelopes.

I'm wondering the same thing. It would be nice to have the answer posted here, rather than having to go through support for it. Did anyone find a way to do it?

I'm also wondering if it's possible to get the behavior of an analog envelope stealing. My understanding is that on a typical real analog poly synth when voices are stolen the envelopes start from the last point they were at in the previous voice, rather than completely resetting to 0 like a typical digital envelope would. There are other VA synths that get this envelope behavior correct, such as Diva or Legend or Obsession. Any way to get it in Spire?

Thanks!
