MASCHINE 1.5 Reference Manual – 67
Voice Settings Controls
polyphony
Here you can dene a voice limit for the Sound. The de-
fault value is 8, the minimum 1 and the maximum 32
voices. You can also set this to Legato.
ChokE GroUp
You can choose one of the 8 Choke Groups here or leave
this option set to Off. If you assign more than one Sound
to the same Choke Group, they will cancel each other out.
This is a behavior you can nd in vintage drum machines
(typically used to “choke” the open hi-hat with the closed
one), but also in monophonic synthesizers that are only ca-
pable of playing one note at a time.
GlIdE
If Legato is selected, this allows for a portamento-effect
between consecutive steps.
pItChBEnd
Here you can adjust how the Sound reacts on incoming
MIDI Pitchbend messages from an external MIDI Controller
or your host application. For more information on how to
setup your Sounds to receive MIDI, refer to section 4.10.1,
“Sound MIDI Batch Setup.”
