Solaris on XIte - 12 voices poly test

Post by djmicron »

I'm working on it, look at this demo video:

http://youtu.be/Ds6eU1k9KUc

12 instances of solaris, each one on it's own dsp from dsp 7 to 18, running a patch that reaches around 50% per dsp.

Polyphony managed by midi(working on a device to do that).

Thank you

Yes! Thanks for getting a jump start on this way to work with polyphony!!!

And for the great work you've been doing.

Great that you are working on it....... :) :) :)

It would be a dream ...For all of the zarg synthesizers!!! :wink:

That looks impressing.
I have no idea how you manage to tweak the devices that way, but please allow one question:

Would it be possible, in theory, to run more voices on 1 chip and using less instances, so we´d have some more chips free for other devices in addition, or is it not advisable because there might be patches using more DSP tham 50% per chip and voice ?
The background is, the hardware Solaris is an expensive boutique machine and it´s a bit different than the software Solaris.
Now when Solaris runs w/ 10 voices (or more) on XITE-1 and we´d have the option to run a bit more stuff in addition (maybe modules in Modular ?), it would be ice on the cake,- now since hardware Solaris costs as much as XITE-1 costs.

In my experiments, it does seem like at least 1 solaris will fit per dsp. Certainly some uses will allow for more than 1 per dsp, but since there are so many modules for oscillators and filters that can be loaded, each use may vary.

Placing a mixer for all the voices to minimize phase/latency is another task. A dynamic mixer could be cool, that changes with a max-voice setting via a script.

It depends on the patch, but 2 voices per dsp is possible if we take care.

Hardware Solaris works similar,- 5 chips do the 10 voices (2 per chip fixed for the time being) and the 6th chip does the rest (FX & routing etc.).

good luck and all the best

Djmicron, how do you do this ?
(sorry if I missed something...)

Do you have some kind of sdk ?

I already tried your dsp optimized files, really helpful with the Xite dsp gas factory... Are we going to take advantage of the Solaris ones ?

this is done with the sdk 5, i'm developing a midi voice allocation module to manage multiple solaris(and every other synth) as one poly synth.
