the MT-32.
OPARTIAL
The smallest unit that defines a timbre is called a "partial". While
a single partial is enough to produce a simple tone, multiple partials
are required to generate complex sounds.
Because the MT-32 is capable of generating up to thirty-two notes
at a time, it requires exactly thirty-two partials to use its maximum
capacity.
The
maximum
capacity for generating
notes simulta-
neously, therefore, reduces as the number
of notes consisting of
multiple partials increases.
OPARTIAL RESERVE
Partial Reserve is a function that allows the MT-32 to selectively
define the number of partials that each part can use.
lf a note requires partials beyond the upper limit of a part, the
MT-32 will check the other parts for unused partials and allocate
them, if available, to that part. If a part runs short of partials due
to the Partial Reserve function, the MT-32 will terminate the part
and send the partials back to the original part.
The Partial Reserve function thus ensures that every part has at
least the number of partials assigned to it.
