Play Release
By default, the release phase of stolen notes is not played back and the notes
fade out in the time specified by the Fade Out parameter of the zone. Activate this
option to fade out the notes with their normal release phase instead.

Voice Groups
By assigning zones to a voice group, you can set their polyphony individually. You can manage
the polyphony across zones that are not part of the same layer. Furthermore, zones can steal
notes from each other, regardless of whether they are in the same layer.
The maximum number of notes that you can play in a voice group is limited by the Polyphony
setting of the corresponding program or layer.
The parameters of the voice groups are edited using the columns in the table below the Voice
Management section.
No
Shows the number of the voice group.
Poly
Allows you to set the polyphony for each voice group.
Excl
If voice groups belong to the same exclusive group, they cannot be played back
simultaneously. The voice group that was triggered last has priority over the voice
groups that were playing before. Any voice groups of the same exclusive group
that were playing are cut off. A typical example for assigning voice groups to an
exclusive group is a drum set where the closed hi-hat cuts off the open hi-hat.
•
To assign a voice group to an exclusive group, select a number from the
pop-up menu.
Voice Mode
Allows you to set the Voice Mode parameter separately for each voice group.

Assigning Zones to Voice Groups
PROCEDURE
1. In the Program Tree, select the zones that you want to add to a voice group.
2. Open the Sound Editor for the zones.
3. In the Voice Control section, on the Trigger tab, select a voice group from the Voice
Group pop-up menu.
Usually, the voice group numbers relate to the voice groups of the program. If the zone
is part of a layer with active voice groups, the numbers relate to the voice groups of the
layer instead.
