5.11. Voice allocation modes
When a note is triggered the PolyBrute can play as many as six voices on a single key. The
Voice allocation modes let you define this response for each patch. They are accessed by
holding [Settings] and pressing one of the
The page you'll see depends on the Polyphony mode for the current zone: Poly mode takes
you to the Poly Allocation page; Unison or Mono mode takes you to the Uni/Mono Allocation
page. All options are described in the following sections.
5.11.1. Polyphonic allocation
The Poly Allocation options are identical for the upper and lower zones regardless of the
Timbrality mode (Single, Layer, or Split). The lower zone settings can be accessed even
when the keyboard is not split.
To access these settings when the Single/upper zone is in Poly mode, hold [Settings] and
press [Polyphony]. To access these settings for the lower half when it is in Poly mode, hold
[Timbrality] for 1 second.
Choose one setting from the Poly column and one from the Steal column:
•
Poly Cycle
uses the first available voice, then the next higher-numbered voice,
and so on.
•
Poly Reset
uses the first available voice and keeps using it until it is stolen.
•
Poly Unison
stacks the available voices on the first note. If a second note is
played while the first note is held, the first note keeps one voice and the others
jump to the second note. If notes 1 and 2 are held, each keeps one voice and the
others jump to the third note, and so on.
•
Poly Reassign
cycles through the voices as different notes are triggered, but
reuses an existing voice if the same note is played again.
•
Steal Oldest
tells PolyBrute to steal the note that has been held the longest first.
•
Steal Lowest
tells PolyBrute to steal the lowest note in a chord first.
•
Steal None
tells PolyBrute not to steal a voice when no voices are available.
