Parameter Description
VOICE SETTINGS
Polyphony Here you can define a voice limit for the Sound, that is the maximum number of
voices (notes) the Sampler can play simultaneously. Once this polyphony has
been reached, triggering any additional note will kill the “oldest” note still play-
ing (i.e. the note that was triggered first). The available values are 1, 2, 4, 8 (de-
fault), 16, 32, and 64. You can also set this to Legato — in that case the poly-
phony is set to 1 and the Sampler performs a continuous pitch transition be-
tween consecutive notes.
Glide If Legato is selected for the Polyphony parameter, this allows to adjust the dura-
tion of the transition between consecutive notes.
