Voice Limit
This control sets a limit on the number of simultaneous voices and instrument is
playing back before voice stealing occurs. Please note that a single note can have
multiple microphone positions and/or articulations that can quickly add up to many
voices, which in turn is resource intensive. Voice Limits are set per instrument, so if
you are experiencing dropped voices (from reaching the voice limit), raise the Voice
Limit. If your computer resources are being pushed, lower it.
Octave
This control changes the octave transposition of an instrument up or down an
octave. This is useful to create an instrument stack with instruments at different
octave ranges playing together simultaneously, or when used in conjunction with
Key Range to create keyboard splits.
Key Range
These controls specify the range of notes to which the instrument will respond,
effectively muting notes you don’t want to hear, or giving you the ability to split the
keyboard between multiple instruments on a single MIDI channel.
Input a MIDI note number in the value box on the left to set the lower key range, and
likewise in the value box on the right to set the upper range. You can also use the small
up and down arrows to incrementally define the range.
An example of this control in practice is a keyboard split where 2 instruments that
have overlapping note ranges are restricted by Key Range, so each plays only within
their defined range. In combination with the Octave control, you can have two
instruments playing in different ranges of the keyboard on the same MIDI Channel.
