Title: Why are the voice outs stereo?
Post by: wminor on October 12, 2022, 10:43:18 PM
For the few years that I've owned my Tempest, I've always just used the main outs and multitracked in to other samplers / DAW. Finally trying out the voice outputs, and was wondering why they're stereo.

I'm pretty sure the voices themselves are mono, right? Is it just so that different pads can be panned around on those voices? Does this mean that with hard panning I can effectively get 12 mono outputs (as long as sounds sharing a voice don't play at the same time)?

Panning is a mod destination per voice... 'Nough said.   ;)

Cheers!

I've read that thread a few times. It's very helpful! I don't see this covered there, thought, but perhaps I'm missing it somehow.
