Polyphony settings

The following settings are available:

Max Voices

Here, you can specify a hard limit for the total number of voices The Grand will be able to play simultaneously. Each sample counts as a voice. When the number of simultaneously played voices exceeds this limit, The Grand starts excluding notes from playback. You can specify a value between 1 and 256 voices. This setting is particularly helpful to limit the system load when using The Grand.

Low Notes Reserved

You can use this setting to prioritize low notes over high notes when The Grand has to exclude notes. For example, if you play a long left-hand chord together with a right-hand solo, you might need to reserve a certain number of notes for the left-hand chord to avoid that it suddenly gets cut. Use the control to adjust the number of notes to be reserved for low notes.

Repedaling

On a real acoustic piano, after releasing the sustain pedal, you can repedal the sustain as long as the strings are not yet completely damped and still vibrate. The effect is that the strings continue vibrating with the remaining energy. You can achieve a similar effect by activating the Repedaling option. Please note that this feature demands more performance and should be turned off on less powerful systems.
