Voice Management Section

• If this parameter is set to Program, the settings of the program are used,
regardless of any Voice Management settings made for layers higher up in
the hierarchy.
Voice Mode
Determines which notes are stolen during playback and whether new notes are
triggered when the Polyphony setting is exceeded.
• Last Note Priority – New notes have playback priority over the notes that
were played before them.
If you exceed the maximum number of notes, the notes that were played
first are stolen in chronological order (First in/First Out) and the new notes
are triggered.
• First Note Priority – 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.
• Low Note Priority – 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 Note Priority – 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.
• Steal Lowest Amplitude – 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.
• Steal Released Notes – 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.
Trigger Mode
Defines the trigger behavior for new notes.
• Normal triggers a new note when the previous note gets stolen. The
sample and the envelope of the new note are triggered from the start.
To minimize discontinuities, use the Fade Out parameter of the zone.
• Resume does not always trigger a new note.
