channel, and is assigned a range of keys on the keyboard.
Each of the 6 voices in Ambika needs to be linked to (assigned to) a part. This is a bit like showing
each musician (voice) in an orchestra which staff they must play on a musical score! If you assign the
6 voices to the same part, Ambika will behave like a classic monotimbral polysynth. If you assign
each voice to a different part, Ambika will behave like 6 independent monophonic synths. If you want
to play a bassline on the lower part of the keyboard, and a brass riff on the upper part of the
keyboard, you need to use two parts: one part with 1 voice for the bass, and a second part with 5
voices for the brass sound.
A patch is a specific combination of synthesis settings stored into a part.
A program consists of a patch, and additional sequencer/arpeggiator settings.
A multi stores 6 programs (one for each part of Ambika) along with the mappings between voices,
parts, midi channels and keyboard range. This is a complete snapshot of the Ambika configuration!
