Plugin effect voicing: bug or design limitation?

Hi,

When adding a VST effect by means of the "plugin effect" module in the middle of a sound generation chain, ie between the osc's and the filters, it seems that the "plugin effect" module only outputs audio on the first voice (I thought it would be cool to distort the OSC's by Ohmicide before passing them on the filters and envelopes).

I've uploaded a patch which exhibits this behaviour. When the polyphony is set to 1, everything is OK. If the polyphony is increased to 6, only every 6th note is played.

Is this a bug or is due to the design of VAZ Modular?


I'm running W7 64bit, Sonar 8.5.3 PE 32bit, VAZMod 3.20 beta 15 32out VST.
Hardware: Phenom II 720 BE & 4GB ram, Delta Audiophile 2496

It's a design limitation, VST plugins aren't polyphonic...

Ok, that does make sense. I first made the (wrong) assumption that a monophonic component would "sum" the voices.

I think I realize the difficulties of employing an instance of the VST plugin for every polyphonic voice though it would be cool.
