Hi everyone,

Sounds like you have a midi loop in your setup. If you use a DAW or other device that sends the midi commands from your synth back to your synth, it will trigger notes twice... the synth itself triggers a voice and the your DAW triggers a second one. Therefore you got half the polyphone with Local on.

It depends on your DAW. In most DAWs you can configure in- and output ports of the channel you are using for your synth. You could stop the output back to the synth there.

Some DAWs have a monitoring setup that reads the input only when recording and sends to the output only when playing back. Perhaps you could look for something like that.
