Xils lab PolyKB III User Manual page 31

NBR VCES : The available number of voices can be set thanks to the
menu displayed on the right of the OUPUTS knob. This number, form 1
to 16 is useful to limit the CPU usage when long decay or release is
needed.
Please note that this number also determines and affects the settings of
the SPACEXY and VOICEXY tools. ( These functions are detailed
later in this manual ) and can therefore affect the Stereo Scene and/or
the VOICEXY Modulation Matrix features.
The keyboard playing mode is set, thanks to the two display menus over this section
The first menu allows the user to choose the number of
unison voices. This means that each time a note is triggered
(from a MIDI message or from the virtual keyboard) the
corresponding number of voices will be trigged. Of course,
for a correct use of this setting, the available number of
voices must be greater than the number specified in the
Unison settings (an available number of voice multiple of the
unison number should be the correct value).
Warning : This setting, added to long release and a high
available voice number is very CPU intensive.
The second menu allows choosing between playing in
polyphonic or monophonic mode.
POLY circular: polyphonic, each voices are selected one
after each other
POLY reset: polyphonic mode, each voices are selected
from the voice number 1.
MONO low priority: Monophonic mode with low priority
(when two notes are ON at the same time, the lower is
played) ( Emulates the Moog Synthesizers mode )
MONO high priority: Monophonic with high priority (when
two notes are ON at the same time, the higher is played)
MONO last priority: Monophonic with last priority (when
two notes are ON at the same time the first which was
activated is played)
