Hello Archie, i also have the perfourmer, but i am confused about polyphony with this machine... I mean when i use polyphonic mode, and send chords (4 notes per chord, in ableton) each chord is played in disorder, i mean i can't have clean chords. Do you have any tips? sites or tutorials? thanks, and good job, this synth obviously gives you a good feeling in you productions. Cheers !
+Ivan Herczeg Hi Ivan! Thanks for watching. If I understand your question correctly,I would check your MIDI setup and make sure all 4 voices are set to the proper desired MIDI channel. Then check your play mode setting. you also have to make sure that the voices are in a proper transposition range. Here is another response I gave to MIDI setup: "... In Logic 9 I used a little bit more complicated MIDI Environment for all my synths. I just recently switched to Logic X and have it setup a little simpler. It can be setup the same in both versions, I just happened to change my workflow. I just have a simple External instrument set up on a track for each external synth. I configure the corresponding MIDI interface (I have an RME FF800) and corresponding port to the synth. The PERfourMER is very simple to configure the port. You select the MIDI channel from the selector knob, then hit the trigger button on the desired voices that you want to use that channel. Simple on off. You can have each voice on the PERfourMER communicate on its own channel if desired...!" I think my next video should be a tutorial on my configuration. I think that it would be helpful for questions like yours.
ArchieMusicCanada Hello, thank you for the reply ! So you send different notes to each voice separately? in order to have four notes in each chord? I anyways figured a lot of things by experimenting, that is the cool thing about this synth i guess right? :) Looking forward more of your videos ! cheers !!!
+Ivan Herczeg Not a problem! You can send different MIDI channels to the individual voices, if desired. However, I mostly use the unit in Poly mode P1 and P2. Therefore, they are all assigned to the same MIDI channel. Then when you send lets say a multi-note chord, the PerFOURmer assigns the note priority amongst the 4 voices as most polyphonic synths do. Most definitely, it is a cool synth to explore. Without presets, you are forced to learn more about the unit. Thanks for your support!
