Polyphony in Blok

In recent versions, Blok added the "Polyphony Settings" block which allows you to adjust polyphony anywhere from 1 to 16.

There is also a special monophonic "legato" mode which prevents the envelope from retriggering when the previous note is still being held.

To save extra CPUpower, the core will automatically try to determine if a block should be polyphonic at all. For example: it makes no sense for the average non-resetting LFO to run polyphonic, so the core will just route the output of a single LFO instance to 4 separate instances of an oscillator if the rest of the patch is polyphonic.

If the core decides a block has to be monophonic, it will draw a yellow border around it.

Take special care of adding monophonic generators to a polyphonic patch! Because the monophonic generator will be copied to all active voices, it will sound N times as loud!
