Lately, I find a great Juno 6 patch in AnalogLab. Customize it perfectly. Set macros. Etc… Plays great. Love it. Transfer it to my AstroLab. When I go to play it, I can only play 2 notes of polyphony. That’s Bad!!! Please share your experiences. Is there anything I can do to gain polyphony back? Will the AstroLabs get any more optimizations?
Also seems to be the case with all of the Augmented instruments.
Check the Polyphony and Unison settings in Jun-6V.
While the original Juno 6 was a 6-voice synth, AstroLab can get up to 8 voices of Jun-6V, without Unison. Unison (that the original didn’t have) can reduce polyphony as it multiplies the number of voices per note.
AstroLab shouldn’t have any issue playing a Juno preset with polyphony set to 6 or even 8 voices, without Unison. With Unison set to 2 voices per note, it should still be able to play. But with higher Unison settings, it might be less.

Thanks @Sean_W, that was it. While AnalogLabs easy played the patch, the AstroLab was affected by the Unison, and reduced the notes down to 2.
