If the Integra7 does NOT do it that way, this is a good thing!


I've used the Integra 7/Sonar X3 to generate some big band arrangements. I never had any degradation of the sound or drop outs, even though I was using all 16 MIDI Channels. Didn't exceed the max 128 Poly tones since it's difficult to have a trumpet, trombone, sax, etc. play chords! :-)
