Why would arguably the two best recent VST synths, Roland's SH-2 Plug-Out and NI's Monark Synth be monophonic? Why would there even be such a thing as a virtual monosynth in 2015 I hear you ask?
Surely, only being able to play one note at a time is a ridiculous limitation for software that could easily be overcome? As usual, the answer is not quite so simple.
In this tutorial we are going to discover how to upgrade any VST monosynth to a polysynth using a free JSFX plugin for Reaper. I will also provide links and additional information on how users of Ableton Live (using the free MaxForLive) can do the same thing.
