4. Simultaneous polyphony
Always keep the song within 16 - 32 notes of simultaneous polyphony. Since some voices use two
notes of the total polyphony (because they contain two elements), the maximum available number
of simultaneous notes will depend on the type and combination of voices used.
Avoid overlapping note on/offs of the same channel and note number. For example, in the
following case, it cannot be definitely stated how note-on processing will take place:
note on
| note off
| |
ch.1, note#60 =================
ch.1, note#60 ===================
| |
note on |
note off
