INST PGM OVERLAP/NON-OVERLAP

Hello,

First of all, I'm doing sample-based stuff, I don't use synths, expanders or keyboards much.

But currently I'm rebuilding old programs with multisamples to make them compatible with OS2XL and INST PGM.

What are the pro and cons concerning overlap and non-overlap mode?

As there is the autoset feature in overlap mode, that's what I've chosen.
Is there a good reason to build them in the overlap mode instead?

Thx.

Overlap = Monophonic = No Chords
Non-Overlap = Polyphonic = Chords

Very early days for me in this department.

Hi everyone! I have some questions regarding overlap and non-overlap INST modes. I've got some nice instrument samples and i wanted to make programs for them but i'm confused which mode to use.
I read here that with overlap mode you can't play chords, but actually you can. I made one overlap and one non-overlap program using same set of samples and they are pretty much the same thing. So i'm asking if anyone here can explain what are the main differences between those two modes. Why are there two modes? I'm finding that they are the same thing, only with slightly different graphic layout. Is one using up more voices than the other? Samples are mono.

This has nothing to do with polyphony or chords..

overlap - more than one sample can be played from one note /key (use velocity range)

non-overlap - only one sample per note/ key

both settings will play polyphonic (look upper right corner of program menu and amp tab wat program menu and there aresettings for polyphony )

Thnx! I was messing around with both modes, you are right.
