How many ways to setup the keyboard?
« on: December 09, 2021, 09:58:28 AM »

I'm curious how many ways there are to setup the keyboard. Essentially a silly math permutations question!

A simple answer could be 1300 voices X 500 styles = 650,000

Then could say that there are three layers of voices, so 1300 X 1300 X 1300 X 500 styles = over 1 trillion

Then there are four variations per style, so 1300 X 1300 X 1300 X 500 X 500 X 500 X 500 = more than my calculator can handle

And that's before layering in the four multipads, the tempo settings, the effects and the volume settings!

I keep being amazed at how much is at my fingertips

What do you think?

I for one just play my keyboard for personal entertainment. I don't think of it as a mainframe computer.

It is not necessary to multiply the number of available Preset Voices, Styles, Multi Pads, etc. with each other.

Even with ONE single Voice we have INFINITE possibilities (practically an infinite number of possible combinations of the available Voice and Effect parameters that we can set). :)


Best regards,
