Chapter 9. Preventing notes of an important Part
from being cut off (Voice Reserve)
The maximum number of simul-
faneous notes
The XP-10 can produce up to 28 notes (28 voices)
simultaneously. However some Tones use two voices
to produce one Tone. Each note played using such a
Tone will decrease the remaining number of available
voices by 2, not 1. Also, using a Keyboard Mode such
as Dual will sound two Tones simultaneously, which
will also affect the maximum number of simultaneous
notes. For the number of voices used by each Tone,
refer to “Tone list” (p.71).
The priority order of Parts
When the number of requested notes exceeds 28,
notes played later will be given priority, and current-
ly-sounding notes will be successively turned off. On
the XP-10, each Part has a priority order, and notes
will be turned off beginning with Parts that have a
lower priority. Keep this in mind when you create
songs, and use high-priority Parts for parts that are
musically most important.

Voice Reserve settings
If your song has one or more Parts that you don’t
want notes to be “stolen” from, use the following pro-
cedure to specify the number of voices that will be
reserved for each Part. For example if you set a Voice
Reserve setting of 6 for Part 1, Part 1 will be guaran-
teed 6 voices even when the total number of request-
ed voices exceeds 28.
