    Hello,

    I have just tested and failed to play smooth when I set all mic positions using 1a to 7a in VI Pro cells with each single patct. (Close, Mid L+R, Main L+R, Main Center + Back + Main Ls+Rs, Auro HL+HR, Auro HLs+HRs)

    Yes, I know it's abnormal and maybe beyond software's limit. But even if I did this with my computer(Octa Core, SSD, 64GB RAM and so forth), it was very hard to play 4 notes simultaneously. As I tried to play Major 7th Chord, the fourth note sounded not very well, not to say, silent. The settings of latency and voices were enough to play.

    Even when I tried to move notes one another, it stopped once for very short time and started to sound again, just like playing immediately after releasing.

    So I attempted to reduce the mics one by one. It was not until any of 2 mic left that it sounded with no problem. Is this why 'Room-Mix' preset was made of only 2 mics combined ? Using over 3 mics at the same time (especially Long patches) within one cell in VI Pro causes unexpected internal algorithm issue ?

    I wonder each mic has to be used saperately or the intended use of maximum mics positions is one or two simultaneously.

    Hi Valkyria, 

    With Velocity XFADE on, this can be quite taxing for the streaming, but if your Preload size is set to 8192 or higher, it shouldn't be a problem to play back multiple microphone positions. 

    You can see how many voices are streaming in your VI/PRO Advanced View / Perform Tab. 

    If you want to play chords, it's a very good idea to use the Room-Mix presets or mute the channels you don't need for composing, then add the additional channels when it comes to mixing, maybe with a higher latency setting. 

    Best, 
    Paul

    Thanks for replying, Paul.

    That sounds better than before. I hope Synchron Player enables us to play with the maximum flexibility as well as easy-to-change articulations. :)
