Voice Rsv 1–16 (Voice Reserve 1–16)
The sound generator of the RS-50 can produce up to 64 notes (voices)
simultaneously. If data is received that attempts to play more than
this number of voices, notes will be dropped out. The RS-50 has a
voice reserve setting that lets you allocate a minimum number of
voices for each part. For example, if you set Voice Reserve to "10" for
part 16, ten voices each for upper and lower tones will be allocated
for part 16, even if the total number of voices being sounded by the
RS-50 reaches the maximum of 64. In this way, consider the number
of sounds you want to play and the number of tones in the patch you
are using, and set the Voice Reserve of each part accordingly.

whether the effect will use the parameters of the performance itself,
or the parameters of the patch assigned to the part (p. 65).

Part parameters of a performance

(Part Setup Parameters)

Level (Part Level)
Sets the volume of each part. This is mainly used to achieve the
volume balance between Parts.
Value: 0–127
Pan (Part Pan)
When stereo output is used, this setting sets the pan position (stereo
location) of each Part. With an increase in the value for L, more of the
sound will be heard as coming from the left side. Similarly, more of
the sound will originate at the right if the value of R is increased.
When set to RND (random), you obtain a specialized effect whereby
the sound randomly moves left and right with each key stroke.
