I just did a small Harmonics Synthesizer inspired by the one Saltline did here.
The Voice Dispatcher module for polyphonic patches only dispatches code1(pitch) information, but no code2(velocity).
Now I use the code2 from the MIDI in, but this way all oscillators adapt the last velocity information.
Does anyone have a good workaround for that?

The Harmonics Synthesizer adds 15 harmonics to every note. So I placed one polyphonic patch for the harmonics into another polyphonic patch for the actual polyphony. That way this Synth takes about 50% CPU power of my i520M processor. Does anyone haver an idea how to make it less CPU hungry?
Here you can download the patch.
I made this synth because I wanted to add a glide feature to the harmonics and to have completey tunable overtones (this is the .x button)

Your patch contains 5x15=75 oscillators... and 150 delays...
I don't know what is exactly the purpose of the patch but you reach the limit of Usine.
Usine is not designed for synthesis.
But few ideas:
- replace the binaural pan by a simple pan made with volume module or multiplication
- use "single in patch" options in inlets and drive them with array's
- avoid the heavy 'smooth' module

thanks, senso.
I am working on a few compostitions with extended glissandi and a bit of additive synthesis, that's what I need the patch for.
