VOICE RESERVE

0–63, FULL

Specifies the number of voices that reserved for each Part when more than 64 voices are

 

 

played simultaneously.

 

 

* It is not possible for the settings of all Parts to total an amount greater than 64.

 

 

[Calculating the Number of Voices Being Used]

 

 

The number of notes, or “voices,” that the XV-2020 can sound simultaneously depends on

 

 

the number of Tones in the Patches you’re using and the number of keys being pressed.

 

 

For example, if you play one note using a Patch that consists of only one Tone, you’ll use

 

 

up one voice of polyphony. XV-2020 Tones may use two Waveforms. If a Patch’s Tone uses

 

 

two Waveforms, the number of voices it requires is doubled. If two keys are pressed with

 

 

a Patch that has four Tones, and each Tone uses two Waveforms, a total of sixteen voices

 

 

are used.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This number is obtained by performing the following calculation. Count the number of

 

 

Tones with two Waveforms and multiply this number by 2. Add the number of Tones that

 

 

use one Waveform. Multiply this total by the number of keys pressed.

 

 

The XV-2020 can play up to 64 Tones simultaneously. When you’re using the XV-2020

 

 

multitimbrally, keep this in mind, and adjust your Voice Reserve settings so that each Part

 

 

is guaranteed at least the minimum number of voices it requires.

cy, Resonance and TVF and TVA Envelope attack and release time settings.
