Rhythm
Set
In
Parts
1
—
7,
the pitch
of
the
Patch
depends
on
the
note
number.
In the
Rhythm
Set,
however,
different
percussion
sounds
are assigned
to different
note
numbers.
In other
words, each
rhythm
or
percussion
sound
is
assigned
to
a
different
key
on
the
keyboard.
Each
percussion
sound
in
a
Rhythm
Set
is
called a
Rhythm
Tone.

Voices
and
Maximum
Polyphony
Because
of
the
complex sound
generation
system
of
the
JV-880,
there
is
a
limit
to
the
number
of
sounds
that
can be
played
simultaneously. This
limit
is
called
the
maximum
polyphony
and
it
amounts
to
28
sounds,
or "voices."
A
single
Tone
requires
one
voice
in
order
to
be
played. Therefore,
when
a Patch
is
made
up
of just
one
Tone, up
to
28
notes
can be
played simultaneously.
However,
if
a Patch
is
comprised
of
4 Tones, each
of
which
requires
one
voice
to
sound one
note,
the
maximum
number
of
notes
that
can be
played simultaneously
is
reduced
to
7.
