Multi-touch/Polyphonic playback... Is this possible?
Hi!
I am just experimenting with using the new sound feature - but is there any way to make it polyphonic at runtime so two or more triggered items could be played simultaneously. For example, if it was a piano then multiple notes could be played simultaneously by touch.
Of course this would not be possible on a desktop/laptop computer (with a cursor), but on a smart phone or iPad when separate fingers can touch different keys at the same time - is there a way that both events could trigger together?
I'm trying to come up with a way to do this but so far no luck, so was just wondering if you can steer me in the right direction - or just tell me that it's not actually possible then I can stop wasting my time ;)
Thanks,
Ryan
Hey Ryan,
I tried to get this working in the editor in a few different ways, but didn't have any luck either. Seems like the listeners aren't triggering at the same time. It's possible that a more runtime centric approach could work, but that's a bit out of my range of expertise. I'll ask some of our devs to see if they have any ideas.
Hi Robert, thanks for the reply! This would be a fantastic update for future versions!
Bumping this, would love to figure out solutions for multitouch, with the sound experiments I’ve done so far it feels very natural to interact that way on a touchscreen.
