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
HIGH
NORM
HOLD
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 (
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.

If the program is set to LOW priority, then notes from this program will be
stolen first.
If set to HIGH, then notes from other programs with lower priority will be
stolen first before they are stolen from this program.
NORM is, of course, normal priority and sets standard dynamic voice
allocation and note stealing will take place with no particular priority.
If a program's priority is set to HOLD, then notes can only be stolen from
this program by the same program.
