MAIN CONTROLS - Voices

 

 

The VOICES parameter determines the number of simultaneous notes (also called polyphony) that are playable in a single Part. Omnisphere is capable of up to 64 voices of polyphony per part, and the VOICES selector determines the maximum number of voices that the Patch will have.

The higher the number of voices that the Patch has, the more CPU power it will use, so this is a very important parameter in Omnisphere.  The best approach is to only set it to the maximum number of notes that are needed for the given musical application.

The factory Patches have all been set conservatively, so if more polyphony is needed, increase the number of voices.

Range 1-64

 

NOTE: Voices applies to all sounding notes, not just the ones that are currently being played.  This is important to consider when playing sounds with longer release times
