Because it's only applicable up to 4 voices when dealing with hyperthreading/cores and most current CPU's, as far as I know.svenh wrote:From the manual: "Built around a vectorized core, The Legend is capable of synthesizing multiple voices for the cost of little more than a single voice, making it one of the most efficient analog-modeling plug-ins available today"
With this in mind - why is the poly-mode only 4 voices? I very often voice my pad chords with 5 or 6 notes. Increasing the the poly mode to 8 or even 6 voices would make a huge difference to me for how useable the poly mode is!
The key idea in The Legend is to process large parts of the voices, in particular the CPU-demanding VCF and VCA, entirely in parallel using SSE. Since SSE does 4 things in parallel, this means 4 voices poly or unison can be computed in parallel. Note that this is a different concept from developers using SSE to speed up this or that portion of the code. What we do is to run just one large circuit simulation, which then returns the outputs of 4 voices simultaneously. This all happens on a single CPU core, so you fully benefit from your other cores still (e.g. if you run many instances of The Legend).svenh wrote:From the manual: "Built around a vectorized core, The Legend is capable of synthesizing multiple voices for the cost of little more than a single voice, making it one of the most efficient analog-modeling plug-ins available today"

I haven't tried, but yeah should work- clever idea!deepndark wrote:Would putting two or more Legends inside the combi and splitting the key range add more voices?
I haven't tried it either (yet). But yeah, there's lots of tricks the combi can do.SynapseAudio wrote:I haven't tried, but yeah should work- clever idea!deepndark wrote:Would putting two or more Legends inside the combi and splitting the key range add more voices?Another more basic idea would be to use combi splits to play a bassline in the low region then some chords in the upper region, which would give you 5-8 voices in total.

No, it is a new development. In order to match The Legend's vintage theme, it is inspired by the classic 224 hall program which was heavily used in the late 70s and 80s. Since it is a modulated reverb, it is ideal for synthetic sounds. I believe Vangelis used it a lot (Blade Runner), for example.Arrant wrote:Is the reverb the same as in DR-1 and antidote?

You can- using the external inputs. Those will go into the VCF, but since you can control the filter cutoff and saturation/drive, you should be able to get signals through clean if that's what you wantLoque wrote:And i cannot route audio through itSynapseAudio wrote:No, it is a new development.

Does that mean i can use the filter too? I am getting horny...SynapseAudio wrote:You can- using the external inputs.

Yup, and I know that when Synapse AUdio releases something it's good!adfielding wrote:Damn it's been a fantastic month for top-notch RE synths! I can see this becoming a rack regular here, for sure.
I always thought DR-1 was inspired in Lex 224.SynapseAudio wrote:No, it is a new development.

Yes, The Legend is built around a 4-voice core largely processed in parallel using SSE. One of the available voice modes (top right of the UI) is Unison, which plays all 4 voices at once.jjdejong0 wrote:Is there a Unison feature?

What is the inspiration behind the DR-1, then?
(I have it and love it, both standalone and in the antidote - haven't heard the reverb in the legend yet)
