    MIDI THING V2 U S E R M A N U A L Selects note priority when a new note is assigned to a voice. This applies in the case of new notes arriving and all defined voices are already in use. You can select whether older or newer notes will be stolen or higher or lower voices. also no steal at all FIRST: Keeps the first notes received, stealing the last one played. LAST: Keeps the last notes received, stealing the first played before the available voices ran out HIGH: Keeps higher notes. The lowest will be stolen LOW: Keeps lower notes. The highest note will be stolen NO STEAL: When the polyphony runs out, no more notes will be played. ASSIGN METHOD We have two assign methods Lower To Higher (Low in screen) and Round Robin. Default mode is Low, where as notes arrive, they will be assigned to existing voices in ascending voice order. If we receive a note off for an already assigned note, then a new note arrives it will be assigned to the first available voice after the last assigend. For example, we have three voices configured. We receive two note ON, so they will be assigned to the first two voices: V1 and V2, then we receive a Note off for the note assigned to V1, and just after that a new Note ON arrives. The new Note will be assigned then to V3, following the ascending order. MIDI FUNC...
