below is a list of parameters that reduce polyphony on the radias,
(according to the user manual!),
page 80 unison function
page 84 osc mod
page 85 wave
page 86 routing
page 88 filttype
page 88 drive/ws
page 88 ws type
if i am using one timbre with the unison function turned off and both the drive/wave shaper and ws type turned off, how many voices am i using if,
i press one note
i press three notes at once
1. You are probably using 1 voice.
2. You are probably using three voices.
My understanding of it is: Voice unison uses the number of notes you specify, per note. So if you set voice unison to three voices, then playing one note uses three voices.
Osc1 unison mod type does not affect polyphony, however it is in some way more limited, some ways more flexible, than voice unison
Suboscillator WS settings use one additional voice of polyphony per note played.
In 'individual' filter routing mode, the voice is split into two voices - so an additional voice is used per note played.
If Filter2 is set to Comb mode, this reduces the polyphony from 24 to 16. Not sure how this works in combination with any of the above.

thank you x-trade,that bit about individual routing is a new one to me.
are there any more areas/parameters of polyphony use i should know about?.
anybody else have anything to add?
