You have to raise the polyphony in the live bar. When you save the project the polyphony is saved too.

In the modular you can also change polyphony on it's frame.

go to www.soniccore.com and download version 4.0 it's free.
And the in the live bar, you will see a minitaure of the device(synth) that you loaded in the project window. Here in the live bar, right next to the miniature device, you can se a "1". change that to 2 or more,and you ahve 2 or more voices.

I guess thats testament to the quality of the scope synths if youve been using them with only one voice for 6 years and only just now exploring the polyphonic possibilities

Welcome to Planet Z by the way - youve taken your time getting here

tks!
i actually used them when i first got the card but than started using all these vst's synths and slowly neglected the pulsar one's....now i've 'rediscovered' the pulsar synths and must say they're great for my new projects....good, crisp quality!!

The problem is that for several new user the "first impression" is this!
A lot of people try these synths, but they puts aside then because prefers the convenience of the VSTs!
In KVR a ton of users says that VSTi are today better than i.e. Minimax & C....

Maybe because they have tried only the old free synths bundled with the Scope.
Sincerely I find that there are an abyss among the SC synths and the VSTs.

I think that the 80% of homemade-musician don't know how to recognize (rapidly) the difference between a quality sound and a crap one...

I'm happy that avi elman has changed his opinion before, even, to sell the card

welcome
