Changing a Track’s Playback
Priority
When more than one track is assigned to
the same voice, the track that occurs earli-
est (left-most in the Mix window or top-
most in the Edit window) has priority over
others assigned to that voice. Moving an-
other track of the same voice to a higher
position will then give that track priority.

ther the Mix or Edit windows to change its
playback priority.

drag it above another track assigned to the
same voice.
