We said that a physical model mimics the behavior of a mechanical instrument trying to replicate each and every element that
generates the sound... and that's exactly what the Crumar Seven does. This also affects how the polyphony functions. The following
table shows the synthesis model, the note range, the polyphony limit and the voice allocation system used for each synthesis engine.
ENGINE TYPE OF SYNTHESIS NOTE RANGE POLYPHONY VOICE ALLOCATION NOTES
Tine” Electric piano Physical Modeling A0 (Note 21) to C7 (Note 108) 88 Modeling Fully Polyphonic
“Reed” Electric piano Physical Modeling A1 (Note 33) to C6 (Note 96) 64 Modeling Fully Polyphonic
Electric Baby Grand Physical Modeling A0 (Note 21) to C7 (Note 108) 40 + 88 Modeling (hybrid)
Clavi E.P. Physical Modeling F1 (Note 29) to E6 (Note 88) 60 Modeling No sustain pedal support
DX Digital E.P. Phase Modulation A0 (Note 21) to C7 (Note 108) 28 RR + IVS
MKS Digital E.P. Hybrid A0 (Note 21) to C7 (Note 108) 90 RR + IVS
Vibraphone Physical Modeling C2 (Note 48) to C6 (Note 96) 49 Modeling Fully Polyphonic
Acoustic Grand Piano Physical Modeling A0 (Note 21) to C7 (Note 108) 40 + 88 Modeling (hybrid)
GSP-01 Sample playback A0 (Note 21) to C7 (Note 108) 100 RR + IVS
Synth PAD Virtual Analog A0 (Note 21) to C7 (Note 108) 16 RR + IVS
PLEASE NOTE: all modeling engines have the exact same note range as the instrument they model. In some cases, there will be mute
notes on the keyboard because those are outside the range of the real instrument. However, there are sampled counterparts of those
instruments that offer full note range by simply stretching the samples at the extremes of the normal range. Of course, the result of this
old practice is very questionable, but many people just ignore the fact that even the biggest Vibraphone doesn't exceed the 4 octaves.
