* tangerine supports 24-voice polyphony for Sample pads, and allocates voices to each
Sample pad as needed. For example, a single Sample pad can play with 24-voice
polyphony, two Sample pads playing simultaneously can each play with 12-voice polyphony,
and three Sample pads can each play with 8-voice polyphony.
Multi-sample pads support Loop Mode if the WAV files have embedded loop points. Slicer
pads also support Loop Mode by using the slice points as loop start and end points.
Each pad can have a different Pad Mode. You can use the same WAV file in different pads
in different Pad Modes.
