Note Priority
NOTE: Appears only if Type = ”Monophonic”.
If the incoming MIDI stream has more sustained notes
than your system can play simultaneously, this option
determines which note is actually heard.
Last
The most recently played (last) note will always
override the currently playing note, and is always the
note you will hear.
Highest
The highest note currently being held is the note you
will hear. Any note you play that is lower will be
ignored. Any note you play that is higher will override
the previous note.
Lowest
The lowest note currently being held is the note you will
hear. Any note you play that is higher will be ignored.
Any note you play that is lower will override the
previous note.
Voice Allocation
NOTE: Appears only if Type = ”Polyphonic”.
Standard
Each time a note is triggered, it’s assigned to the least
recently used voice, unless you repeat a note that has
not yet been re-assigned. Held notes will only be
re-assigned when more voices are needed, in which
case the oldest note will be silenced in favour of the
additional note.
For example, if you configure CVx for 4-voice
polyphony and play a 4 note chord, it assigns notes to
voices 1, 2, 3 and 4. If you release voice 2 and play a
different note, it will also use voice 2. If you then play a
5th note, it will drop voice 1 since that's the oldest
voice. Then, if you play a sixth note while holding these
down, it will replace voice 3 (since voices 1 and 2 were
replaced more recently than voice 3).
Round Robin
Each time a note is triggered, it uses a different voice.
Any currently held notes will be silenced when their
current voice is needed by the round robin cycle.
