Hi Florian, Interestingly, the PolySix has six, single VCO, voices with a chorus, phaser= , ensemble effect.=20 Cheers, John Monde Synthesizer gives you More www.mondesynthesizer.com > On Jan 9, 2018, at 6:56 AM, Florian Anwander <xxxxxxxxx@xxxx-xxxxxx.xx> wr= ote: >=20 > Hello >=20 >> Am 09.01.2018 um 11:38 schrieb Oakley Sound: >> The actual ensemble circuit board module allows for the dry signal to be= mixed in with the effected signal but this has been left unused in all the p= roduction versions I have seen. >=20 > I think this needs some explanation for all Non-Tony-Allgoods ;-) : in opp= osite to the usual chorus or flanger effect the delay based ensemble effect d= oes NOT use the original signal!

I think Roland did that, because t= he BBD based vibrato also "vibrates" the resonances of the vocal filters. Th= at is, what makes the voice sounds of the VP330 quite realistic sounding. >=20 > Florian >=20 > --=20 > http://www.florian-anwander.de >=20
