Voice Mode
The Voice Mode parameter determines which notes are stolen during playback and
whether new notes are triggered when the Polyphony setting is exceeded. The
following settings are available:
Option
Low Note Priority
High Note Priority
First Note Priority
Last Note Priority
Steal Lowest Amplitude
Steal Released Notes
Description
Low notes have playback priority over higher notes.
- If you exceed the maximum number of notes by playing a
lower note than the ones that are held, the highest note is
stolen and the new note is triggered.
- If you exceed the maximum number of notes by playing a
higher note than the ones that are held, no note is stolen and
no new note is triggered.
High notes have playback priority over lower notes.
- If you exceed the maximum number of notes by playing a
higher note than the ones that are held, the lowest note is
stolen and the new note is triggered.
- If you exceed the maximum number of notes by playing a
lower note than the ones that are held, no note is stolen and
no new note is triggered.
Older notes have playback priority over newer notes.
- If you exceed the maximum number of notes while older
notes are still being held, no notes are stolen. New notes are
only triggered if a free voice is available.
New notes have playback priority over the first played notes.
- If you exceed the maximum number of notes, the first played
notes are stolen in chronological order (First in/First Out) and
the new notes are triggered.
New notes have playback priority over notes with a low
amplitude.
- If you exceed the maximum number of notes, the note with
the lowest amplitude is stolen and the newest note is
triggered.
New notes have priority over notes that enter the release
phase.
- If you exceed the maximum number of notes, the oldest note
that is in its release phase is stolen and the new note is
triggered.
- If no note is playing in release and you exceed the maximum
number of notes, the first played notes are stolen in
chronological order and the new notes are triggered.
