by the way i checked some of my other synths and my virus B has polyphonic glide. That's true. And I see the Nord 3 has it too. How does it sound? If you press two keys and then another two, how does it work out which note glides to which one? I suppose it must use first note priority (i.e. each ne...

you're right. How did I not notice that! I did wonder how poly glide was even possible: how can you work out the correspondence between voices to do the gliding? It would probably sound really messy anyway, so it's probably a good thing it doesn't exist. :D

I think so. It's a brand new machine, just shipped direct from Creamware. The overload light works, so I guess it is 2.0. Do you know if there is any way to find out?

Now I own one I can answer my own post. If you turn the resonance to about 7 you can hear zipper noise on extremely slow Cut-off changes. It's subtle, and actually not totally unpleasant, but in a sparse mix you can definitely hear it (minimal techno). I suppose most synth performers don't turn the ...

Minimax ASB --- poly glide

Minimax ASB --- zipper noise on Contour Amount?

Thinking about getting a Minimax ASB, but then read in a harmony central review that you can hear zipper noise from the Contour Amount knob. Is that still a problem with OS 2.0, or is it fixed now?

Are there any other sources of unwanted noise?

Thanks,
