Sujet C'est fini pour le Digitakt, qui va succéder?

Here's a comment from someone from polyend on discord:

FM synthesis is something I'm personally very much into. I looked into the feasibility of adding it to Tracker and unfortunately there isn't much we can do here with the hardware we have. The current audio engine is 8 tracks of synthesized audio. As they are stereo-panned, that's really 16 tracks. And then there's stereo sends so we've got 20 logical voices of 44.1kHz audio.

Our MCU is running at 180 MHz. That's around 9 MHz per voice. There's probably headroom for another 3 - 4 voices if we push it. But for decent FM you want at least 3 operators. That's what Elektron's Model:Cycles supports for example. So if all 8 tracks played FM sounds, that would be 3X the polyphony CPU-wise.

Elektron's Digitone is 8 voices of 4-operator FM on their 300 MHz MCU. That's 32 voices, 9 MHz per voice, pretty close to Tracker's performance. M8 Tracker's got a 600 MHz CPU and allows 8 voices of 4-op synthesis. So looks like Tim's got some headroom to spare but M8 also streams samples off of the SD which is CPU-intensive (there's a note in the M8 docs to limit size of streamed samples and prefer mono over stereo samples).

So, I guess what I'm saying is that we will be able to tweak what we do with wavetables, granular, and samples. But I wouldn't count on FM.
