The number of occupied voices determines the remaining configurable outputs. The system

number one. While the first key remains held, the second key pressed activates the first
available voice.
The
Next
mode works as voices do in most polyphonic synthesisers. When MIDI note is sent,
then the system looks for next non-occupied voice and triggers it. Each MIDI Note on and off

If Channel mode is selected – see “Channels” displayed in the menu. In this setting –
indicate which voice is triggered with which MIDI Channel. By default, the number of voice is
