this is not equivalent to the polyphony offered by an electronic keyboard. the tone generated by the e-string+5th fret is not the same as the tone generated by the open a-string (the overtone series is different). on an electronic keyboard that is using option (c), the two tones generated will (likely) be identical (they don't have to be, but they probably would be). _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
