Basic Operations - Korg OASYS musical instruments Operation Manual

Introduction to OASYS
Note: As with the meter as a whole, the number shown
in FREE FOR VOICES is only an approximation. For
example, if FREE FOR VOICES is showing 98, the
maximum polyphony for the HD-1 may not be exactly
172 x 0.98 (approximately 168).
