[A6] First Post: fx sync / voice stealing

[MelloT at aol.com]

Unfortunately, no synchronization of the effects. On the A6, the effects 
section was just a quick Add-On to make it do some nice things, but not a deep 
device. It would have been nice, but as they really had to rush it out, the 
programming ALL went into making the OS for the synth.
Question: Is there any way to synchronise delay / chorus effects to incoming 
midi clock. I can't seem to find it in the manual, or by browsing the A6 
effects interface?

Also, I created a mix of 7 programs, each on separate midi channels, 3 of 
which contained arps as part of the program and 2 with sequences. I heard serious 
voice stealing / notes cutting off. Now, it is a farily busy midi sequence, 
but I was still surprised to witness what happened. Would I be better off to 
export the arp notes and sequence notes as midi to my sequencer (ProToolsLE on 
XP) and drive from there?
I don't think it will change anything. In order for voices to be "stolen" you 
have to exceed the note capability (as I'm sure you know). Where the notes 
are played from is not an issue - but you might check to see that some voices 
are not "stacks" of 2 or 4 notes, and maybe shorter Release times. It's hard to 
say without knowing the patch better, but it can run out of notes fairly 
easily depending on what you're doing.

Welcome, Dublin! (A cool city - nice people there...)
