Hi,
This bug (or inconsistency?) is best understood by checking the attached example. The top and bottom half of the pattern are identical, only in ch 0 the AnaGen's Poliphony goes from 3 to 2. When the lowest note is not played in the second half, its local Duty cycle changes (except the first one) are interpreted as global changes. The spontaneous expectation would be that the local changes are disregarded along with the note they refer to. On the other hand I guess you could say if you exceed poliphony unexpected things will happen.

If is requested number of notes is larger than polyphony - old notes will be replaced by the new notes forever. In other words: any info about the old notes will be removed from Generator's memory.
So if you trying to change the local controller for the nonexistent note - it will be treated as the global ctl change. Such the logic of all SunVox generators :)

Yeah, it's more a behaviour than a bug, some Asimovian robot psychology is called for.
In this thread I question the wisdom of The Manual on the syntax for dynamically changing local controllers. Shouldn't the lines after the note start lose the module number? The way it's written they would be global changes.

Re: Local changes on over-poliphony note act globally
Here is the logic
If you want to set a global ctl - module number should not be empty.
Code: Select all
C3 80 01 0200 0000 //Here we save the module number 01
-- -- -- 0200 0001 //Module number is empty -> we should use the recently saved value (01) and set its local controller

Right, so then the manual has an error, no? It has the module number for every line in the local controller example.
