SETTING A PART’S PRIORITY
When sequencing multi-timbrally, you may need to give certain parts higher or lower priority to
prevent ‘note stealing’ when the 32-voice limit is exceeded. This is done in the PRIO(rity) page:
The choices available are:
LOW If the program is set to LOW priority, then notes from this program will be stolen
first.
NORM NORM is, of course, normal priority and sets standard dynamic voice allocation
and note stealing will take place with no particular priority.
HIGH If set to HIGH, then notes from other programs with lower priority will be stolen
first before they are stolen from this program.
HOLD If a program’s priority is set to HOLD, then notes can only be stolen from this
program by the same program.
If you are playing a complex piece of music using many programs in a multi-timbral
configuration, it is a good idea to set important programs to HIGH or HOLD and less important,
background programs to LOW. If the piece of music is not overly complicated and polyphony is
not going to be exceeded, you may prefer just to leave the priority at the default setting of
NORM.
INITIALISING A PART
There will be times when you want to reset a part to its default values. To do this, move the
cursor to the part you wish to initialise (any filed will do) and press F6 ( ) in any of the
MULTI pages. This will reset all the parameters described above to their default values and will
clear the program name field, leaving it blank.
