4.1.6
Voice Button
Clicking on the
Voice
button activates a drop-down list from which you may select the
number of simultaneously sounding voices you want to use.
Because the TimewARP 2600 is a true analog synthesizer emulator, its modules are
running even when no audio signals appear at the synthesizer’s output. Each voice added
to the multi-voice capability of the TimewARP 2600 is a clone of the entire patch and
module set. This will have an immediate and obvious effect on the CPU load meter.
So: how many voices you can generate without overtaxing your CPU will depend on your
machine’s clock speed.
