9. Output (Output Assign)
Specifies the output destination of the part audio.
Range: Partial, Mix, AUX1~AUX4,
MLT1~MLT8, MLT1/2~MLT7/8
10. VoRsv (Voice reserve)
Specifies the number of voices that will be reserved
for each part if you attempt to play more than 32
voices of polyphony simultaneously.
Range:
0~32
The total value of this setting for all parts is limited
to 32. You can't make settings that would exceed
this total.
The MV-8000 has a maximum polyphony of 64
voices. The actual number of available notes will
depend not only on the number of notes you are
playing, but also on the number of partials used by
each patch, and the number of samples that make
up each partial. Here's how to calculate the
polyphony that is used if the MV-8000 is playing
one patch.
(number of voices) = (number of partials in the
patch being sounded) x (number of the channels of
samples usage for the partial [SMT])
For details the voice reserve, refer to To allocate a
specific amount of polyphony (p. 48).
