The Voice subpage contains the following parameters:
Mono
Here you can switch between monophonic and polyphonic playback:
• Activate Mono to switch to monophonic playback. Usually, this allows a more
natural sounding performance for solo instruments.
• Deactivate Mono to play polyphonically with the number of notes specified by the
Polyphony setting.
Retrigger
This option is only available if Mono is activated. It allows the retriggering of a stolen
note. When Mono and Retrigger are activated, a note that has been stolen by another
will be retriggered if you still hold the stolen note while you release the new one. For
example, with Mono and Retrigger activated, you can play trills by holding one note
and pressing/releasing another note repeatedly very fast.
Polyphony
Use this parameter to set an upper limit for the number of notes you can play in Poly
mode. You can set Polyphony between 2 and 128 notes.
Ö If the program has a smaller value for polyphony than the contained layers, the
maximum number of notes you can play will be limited by the setting of the program.
Key Poly
With this parameter you can set an upper limit for the number of notes you can play
per key. The last played notes have priority over the previously played notes of the
same key. Poly mode needs to be active to make this parameter effective.
Ö Key Polyphony works within the limits of the Polyphony setting. The lower of the two
settings is given priority.
Low Amp
When notes are stolen due to a Key Poly limitation, the oldest note is removed first by
default. By activating Low Amp the note with the lowest amplitude will be removed
instead.
Min Low Notes
Here you can specify a number of low notes that are prioritized. For example, set the
value to four if you want to preserve always the four lowest notes. The note stealing
will then affect notes from the fifth note on. Make sure that the polyphony of the
program is high enough for your specific Min Low Notes setting and allows to play
additional higher notes.
Trigger Mode
To avoid discontinuities during playback of envelopes and samples, you can select
one of three different characteristics for triggering notes:
Trigger Mode Description
Normal This mode triggers a new note when stealing the previous note,
which includes the envelopes being triggered from the start. A
sample of a sample zone will also be triggered from the start.
Resume This mode does not trigger a completely new note: If the new note
stays within the same sample zone, the envelopes retrigger but
resume at the level of the stolen note and the pitch of the zone will be
set to the new note. If the new note plays in a different zone, the new
note will play from the start including any envelopes and samples.
