bug with pad channel ?

[funktree]

If I understand your question correctly you should be able to turn on the Polychaining feature in the settings menu and choose how many channels you want (1-4) however the channels will be sequential starting with the Pad channel number, so it's a good idea to make sure that the Pad channel is set to a number where there are A) 3 more numerically above it, and B) that these are not already being used as Motif or Drone part channels.
This feature just hockets notes to each channel in the order they come in though, so it's not going to get overly fancy as far as sending 3rd off to specific voices, but it may be worth a look. It's been long enough since I've used the feature though that I don't remember if there are any gotchas that would prevent you from using more than 4 voice pad settings. I will mess around with it and see what I can discover.

Here is a link to my previous post about the spread settings:

Holly macaroni!

Your link helped a lot. I've never looked at Appendix "D" in manual. Thanks for that Jesse.

OK now I get the "random" number of notes played and how it works.
BTW your explanation (following your link) is better than Appendix "D" you'd go deeper for each setting...

So if I understand correctly the Spread parameter basically "forces" certain intervals to be played ONLY in "certain" octaves besides the Spread=1. 

Here are a few "strange" behaviors I observed (C-major key:
1. Spread 2 / Range 8
Some triads play only 3 notes Yes you can "fix" it with moving the position knob

2. Spread 5 / Range 10
Most of the 7th chords don't play more than 3 notes (This behavior is "obvious" from the definition but then if you use 7th in your progression the PAD becomes weak for this particular chord type even with 10 voices) So I suppose warning do not use Spread=5 with progression containing 7th chord(s) could help.  

3. Spread 6 / Range 10
Most of the sus2 sus4 chords play only(!) 3 notes, moving the position knob does not help

I think I could squeeze 1-2 extra examples of this "strange" behavior even with Range=12+. Bottom line, even with voices set to 10 (range=10) the NDLR might not play 4 voices, thus making chord progressions uneven or weak. Wouldn't you agree ?

Thanks Again
