Synfire Express Instrument count

Posted

My first post.  Kicking Synfire Express 1.8.5 around and enjoying it very much, having tried the demo version for a couple weeks before springing for the real thing.

I notice the manual incorectly indicates Synfire Express supports up to 16 instruments.  This is contrary to the comparison web page which indicates a 32-instrument limit.  I've confirmed the 32-instrument limit is correct.  I didn't find this mentioned anywhere, so figured I'd post.

BTW, Synfire has totally changed my composition workflow, all for the better.  I have a big pile of ideas and this is the perfect way to turn them into figures and fully develop them.  My workflow is different from most here, I suspect.  Before, I worked Finale -> Cakewalk.  With Cakewalk virtually folding, I migrated to Reaper.  So, I will be bouncing back and forth between Finale, Synfire and Reaper in my workflow. 

Thrilled ...  :)
