Hey guys, Aalto newcomer here.

I just found that I'm running into a limitation where the limit of 4 voices of polyphony is just not cutting it for some pads where I would play a chord consisting of at least 4 voices, then legato into the next 4 voices chord. Now, this requires 8 voices to do, and so I get this unnatural sudden cutting off.

I'm curious, since Aalto is such an 'out there' synth, 'out there' pads should be one of the sounds you guys like to make. I for one would like 8 voices polyphony, and I'm guessing some guys would like 10, or even 12, 14!

My computer can certainly handle it - bring it on! :) ;)

I just purchased Aalto too, and I admit one oscillator does severely limit the kind of sounds you can make, although Aalto is good at modulating (ease of use, clear representation, but not very complex) and producing different timbres out of that one source.

What I immediately leapt to was the use of a plugin chainer. I would demo xlutop chainer if you're using PC and an x32 host, or DDMF metaplugin (my personal choice) for x32,x64, and AU. I haven't actually tested Aalto out with metaplugin yet, but I will soon.
